Q (?) — (for example: galaxy Q 6188 at 0:48.6 / -12:44 in Cetus) (mentioned on charts 261 / 262 in Uranometria 2000.0 Volume 2, 1987 edition) (according to Wolfgang Steinicke and Richard Jakiel of the book Galaxies and How to Observe Them, this galaxy (Q 6188) is also catalogued as Mrk 960 and PGC 2845)
Modern astrophysics has extended the field of study of celestial bodies to non-electromagnetic vectors, such as neutrinos, neutrons and cosmic rays or gravitational waves. Thus, new types of observatories have been developed. Interferometers are at the core of gravitational wave detectors.

(Belgrade Planetarium, Serbia) Inside the same hall during projection.(Belgrade Planetarium, Serbia)A planetarium (pl.: planetariums or planetaria) is a theatre built primarily for presenting educational and entertaining shows about astronomy and the night sky, or for training in celestial navigation.
The spiral galaxy NGC 4622 lies approximately 111 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus. NGC 4622 is an example of a galaxy with leading spiral arms . [ 2 ] Each spiral arm winds away from the center of the galaxy and ends at an outermost tip that "points" in a certain direction (away from the arm).
Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to reveal 44 stars in a galaxy so far away, its light dates to when the universe was half its age. In 'groundbreaking' study, astronomers detect ...
A key interest in Extragalactic Astronomy is the study of how galaxies behave and interact through the universe. Astronomer's methodologies depend — from theoretical to observation based methods. NGC 2207 (the bigger galaxy to the left) and IC 2163 (the smaller galaxy to the right) as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. Galaxies form in ...
‘It is as if a single glow-worm hidden in a forest suddenly became as bright as the Sun’
Astronomers on Wednesday announced that they have detected a strong and organized magnetic field twisted in a spiral pattern around the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, revealing previously ...
