UGC 2885 (Rubin's Galaxy, [10] nicknamed "Godzilla galaxy" [11]) is a large barred spiral galaxy of type SA(rs)c in the constellation Perseus.It is 232 million light-years (71 Mpc) from Earth and measures 463,000 ly (142,000 pc) across, making it one of the largest known spiral galaxies.
Astronomers discovered a second galaxy with no dark matter, NGC 1052-DF4, [17] which is another ultra diffuse galaxy - quite large, spread-out, and faint to observe. Discovering another galaxy with very little to no dark matter means the chances of finding more of these galaxies may be higher than cosmologists previously thought.
On 25 May 2001, an image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope captured a supernova in NGC 4622, designated SN 2001jx (type unknown, mag. 17.5). [4] It was discovered by R. Buta and GG Byrd of the University of Alabama as well as T. Freeman of Bevill State Community College. [5] The type of supernova was not determined. [6]
Astronomers used the combined powers of the Hubble and Webb telescopes to take a portrait of colliding clusters of galaxies, called the Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists on Tuesday unveiled the first pictures taken by the European space telescope Euclid, a shimmering and stunning collection of galaxies too numerous to count.
M82 is one of two galaxies strongly influenced gravitationally by M81. The other, NGC 3077, is located off the top edge of this image. M81 with satellite galaxy Holmberg IX in the top center-right corner. Only one supernova has been detected in Messier 81. [18] The supernova, named SN 1993J, was discovered on 28 March 1993 by F. García in ...
The Hubble telescope captures the brightest galaxies ever seen, thousands of galaxies act like lenses that magnify light, making them appear super bright. Hubble Telescope reveals new discovery of ...
