The twin spacecraft, Vela 6A and 6B, were launched on 8 April 1970. Data from the Vela 6 satellites were used to look for correlations between gamma-ray bursts and X-ray events. At least two good candidates were found, GB720514 and GB740723. The X-ray detectors failed on Vela 6B on 27 January 1972 and on Vela 6A on 12 March 1972.
Vela is a constellation in the southern sky, which contains the Vela Supercluster. Its name is Latin for the sails of a ship, and it was originally part of a larger constellation, the ship Argo Navis , which was later divided into three parts, the others being Carina and Puppis .
eso 263- g 040, am 1026-442, iras 10268-4423, mcg-07-22-015, pgc 30868 [1] NGC 3261 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Vela . The galaxy lies about 110 million light years away from Earth based on redshift, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 3261 is approximately 130,000 light years across. [ 1 ]
NGC 3132 (also known as the Eight-Burst Nebula, [2] the Southern Ring Nebula, [2] or Caldwell 74) is a bright and extensively studied planetary nebula in the constellation Vela. Its distance from Earth is estimated at 613 pc or 2,000 light-years .

The fainter companion has an apparent magnitude of 12.639 [4] and can be observed with a telescope with an aperture of 76 mm or wider. [10] It is located approximately 373 parsecs (1,220 ly) distant according to Gaia EDR3 parallax measurements, and is receding away from the Solar System at a heliocentric radial velocity of 22.0 km/s.
The Vela supernova remnant includes NGC 2736. Viewed from Earth, the Vela supernova remnant overlaps the Puppis A supernova remnant, which is four times more distant. Both the Puppis and Vela remnants are among the largest and brightest features in the X-ray sky. The Vela supernova remnant is one of the closest known to us.
NGC 3256 is a peculiar galaxy formed from the collision of two separate galaxies in the constellation of Vela.NGC 3256 is located about 100 million light-years away and belongs to the Hydra–Centaurus Supercluster complex.
