25 Most Bizarre Galaxies In The Universe
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 28 Απρ 2016
Our
universe is both massive and fascinating. While we have a pretty
elevated view of ourselves as humans, whenever we peer into the cosmos
we really see how small we are in compared to the rest of whats out
there. The lowest astronomical figures say there are 100 billion
galaxies (that's 100,000,000,000) in the universe, and our Milky Way is
only one. Take the Earth - and multiply it times 17 billion. That's how
many Earth-sized worlds exist only in the Milky Way Galaxy. Multiply
that times 100 billion galaxies and you have a massive universe, not
even counting the stars and non-Earth-sized planets. Here, we focus on
some of the most amazing aspects of our universe: galaxies. The masses
of stars, planets, debris, dark matter, and more follow some general
patterns but sometimes even they break tradition and amaze us, earning
them a spot on this list of the strangest and most bizarre galaxies in
the universe.
Most of the strange galaxies on this list are known
to astronomers by two classifications: the Messier catalog or the New
General Catalog. Messier's catalog was compiled in 1771 by French
astronomer Charles Messier as a way to organize the host of cosmic
discoveries happening at the time. A particular fan of comets, Messier
made the list with his assistant Pierre Méchain to filter out non-comet
items. The New General Catalog (NGC) of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars is
a collection of various types of deep sky objects compiled by John
Louis Emil Dreyer. Numerous revisions have cleaned up the listing, now
one of the most comprehensive catalogs to date with 7,840 deep space
objects.
From a galaxy which resembles a cosmic sunflower
unfolding before our eyes to a hellish-looking mass of gas and matter to
violent galactic collisions which seem oh-so-peaceful in still images,
here are the 25 Most Bizarre Galaxies in the Universe.
