Ten years later, young blue stars were found along the central dust band with the Hubble Space Telescope. [27] The Chandra X-ray Observatory identified in 1999 more than 200 new point sources. [28] Another space telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, found a parallelogram-shaped structure of dust in near infrared images of Centaurus A in 2006 ...
It is a member of the Centaurus Cluster of galaxies, belonging to the section designated "Cen30". The morphological classification is SA(s)c, [4] which indicates it is a pure spiral galaxy with relatively loosely wound arms. [5] During 1999, this galaxy was the subject of an extended study using the Hubble Space Telescope to locate Cepheid ...

In his extension to the Hubble sequence, de Vaucouleurs called the Irr I galaxies 'Magellanic irregulars', after the Magellanic Clouds – two satellites of the Milky Way which Hubble classified as Irr I. The discovery of a faint spiral structure [17] in the Large Magellanic Cloud led de Vaucouleurs to further divide the irregular galaxies into ...

Unlike objects in the Messier catalogue, which are listed roughly in the order of discovery by Messier and his colleagues, [5] the Caldwell catalogue is ordered by declination, with C1 being the most northerly and C109 being the most southerly, [1] although two objects (NGC 4244 and the Hyades) are listed out of sequence.

The spiral galaxy NGC 4622 lies approximately 111 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus. NGC 4622 is an example of a galaxy with leading spiral arms . [ 2 ] Each spiral arm winds away from the center of the galaxy and ends at an outermost tip that "points" in a certain direction (away from the arm).
