Galaxies

A Gallery of Galaxies

Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 200 billion stars, including our star, the Sun. There are billions of other galaxies in the universe. A representative selection of 113 nearer galaxies are shown here. Each image is labled with the its New General Catalog (NGC) number assigned by the Astronomer, Draper, who catalogued galaxies at the end of last century. Most of these galaxies have as many stars as our own. Many of those stars will have planets. Imagine the marvellous worlds we could visit if ever we developed the technology to move rapidly between the galaxies.

Visit Zolt Frei's Galaxy Catalog to find detailed information about each of these star systems.
