    Image taken by ESO's VISTA of the Globular Cluster VVV CL001. On the right lies the globular star cluster UKS 1 and on the left [where?] lies a much less conspicuous new discovery, VVV CL001. [1] The two are not physically located close to each other; this is a line-of-sight coincidence. [2] This is a list of globular clusters.

    The scale of the game was much reduced from the earlier concept, focusing primarily on Dagoth Ur and a smaller area of land. It was decided that the game world would be populated using the methods the team had developed in Redguard ; that is, the game objects would be crafted by hand, rather than generated using the random algorithmic methods ...

    ESO 383-76 within the Abell 3571 cluster, imaged by Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument in 2019. The type-cD galaxy [1] (also cD-type galaxy, [2] cD galaxy [3]) is a galaxy morphology classification, a subtype of type-D giant elliptical galaxy. Characterized by a large halo of stars, [4] they can be found near the centres of some rich galaxy ...

    The Cartwheel Galaxy (also known as ESO 350-40 or PGC 2248) is a lenticular ring galaxy about 500 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. [1] It has a D 25 isophotal diameter of 44.23 kiloparsecs (144,300 light-years), and a mass of about 2.9–4.8 × 10 9 solar masses ; its outer ring has a circular velocity of 217 km/s .

    ESO 306-17 is a fossil group giant elliptical galaxy in the Columba constellation, about 1.07 million light-years in diameter, [2] [4] and roughly 517 million light-years away. [2] The galaxy is situated alone in a volume of space about it. It is theorized that the galaxy cannibalized its nearest companions, hence, being a fossil group. [5]
