Here we see light from a distant galaxy following the curve of spacetime created by the elliptical galaxy's mass.

Galaxies come in many different variations, but astronomers classify them into four main types: spiral, elliptical, irregular and peculiar.

Type c-D elliptical galaxies are a subtype of giant elliptical galaxies and are characterized by a large halo of stars. Lenticular galaxies are an intermediate galaxy between elliptical galaxies and ...

However, not all spiral galaxies are created equal, as two recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show. The image above shows galaxy NGC 3596, a neat and orderly spiral galaxy.

In 1994, Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera-2 captured an image of an object at the center of M87, a giant elliptical galaxy 50 million light-years away.

Enjoy dark skies for evening observing, then catch a meteor shower and a planetary conjunction in the morning sky this week.
