  2. NGC 2261 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_2261

    NGC 2261 was imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, and an image of the nebula was released in 1999. [6] A timelapse of NGC 2261 was taken over a period of 6 months by over 20 amateur astronomers at the Big Amateur Telescope from October 2021 – April 2022. In August 2022, the project was resumed as NGC 2261 came out from behind the Sun. [7]

  3. Boomerang Nebula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomerang_Nebula

    The outflowing gas is moving outwards at a speed of about 164 km/s and expanding rapidly as it moves out into space; this gas expansion results in the nebula's unusually low temperature. Keith Taylor and Mike Scarrott called it the "Boomerang Nebula" in 1980 after observing it with the Anglo-Australian telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory.

    MACS J0416.1-2403 or MACS0416 abbreviated, is a cluster of galaxies at a redshift of z=0.397 with a mass 160 trillion times the mass of the Sun inside 200 kpc (650 kly).Its mass extends out to a radius of 950 kpc (3,100 kly) and was measured as 1.15 × 10 15 solar masses. [2]

  8. MACS J0717.5+3745 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MACS_J0717.5+3745

    When two or more of the galaxy clusters collide, the hot gas in the interstellar medium slows down, but the galaxies, composed mostly of empty space, do not slow as fast. The speed and direction of each of the clusters involved in the collision can thus be approximated through examining the offset between the galaxies and the gas.
