Other astronomers, using side notes in Messier's texts, eventually filled out the list up to 110 objects. [9] The catalogue consists of a diverse range of astronomical objects, from star clusters and nebulae to galaxies. For example, Messier 1 is a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula, and the great spiral Andromeda Galaxy is M31.
