NGC 5139
Today we see a shot of the spherical constellation Omega Centauri, NGC 5139, which can be found at the same time on www.astronomie.de with professional explanations by Peter Riepe as the astrophoto of the week. Of course, there is a comparison on Saturday, because a new picture of Fuerteventura from early June was successful in good conditions.

NGC 5128
In the southern constellation Centaurus (Centaur) is the radio galaxy of the same name Centaurus A, catalog NGC 5128. Due to its proximity to about 17 million Lj, it has been intensively investigated and at its core a black hole of about 55 million solar masses was detected. The unusual shape and high star formation is explained by the collision with another galaxy some 100 million years ago.

NGC 2032, 2035 & 2029
In the Great Magellan Cloud there are many impressive fogs, here there is a collection of smaller samples. On the right we see NGC 2032, next to NGC 2035 and NGC2029. The explorer was John Herschel on 02 again. November 1834 during his stay in South Africa.

Antennae Galaxies
Image description:
In the constellation of Rabe we see an interesting process, the merger of the galaxies NGC 4038 and 4039. This interaction will cause a rapid star eclipse. The same fate will happen in the distant future when Andromeda Galaxy and Milky Way collide. Here it is in 66 million Lj distance for us just a play in the cosmos.
