The Spiral Galaxy (Antlia) PosterGalaxies are large gravitationally bound systems of stars, interstellar gas and dust, plasma and unseen dark matter. There are three main types of galaxies- ellipticals, spirals and irregulars - our planet Earth and Solar System are part of the Milky Way Galaxy, a barred spiral galaxy about 100,000 light years in diameter and 3,000 light years in thickness, containing 3x1011 stars. The Universe contains millions of galaxies. The word "galaxy" is from the Greek term for "milky circle." In 1610 Galileo Galilei used a telescope to study the bright band the night sky and discovered it was made up of faint stars.

Galaxy posters images include the Antenna, Andromeda, Antila Spiral, Centaurus, Cartwheel, Milky Way, Sombrero and Virgo Cluster of galaxies.

Antenna Galaxies Wall Poster

Antenna Galaxies Wall Poster-
Description: Bursting with color, the Antenna Galaxies are a pair of galaxies undergoing a violent collision some 90 million light years away toward the constellation Corvus. They are known as the ‘Antenna Galaxies’ because two long tails of stars, gas, and dust thrown out of the galaxies as a result of the collision resemble the antennae of an insect. Most galaxies probably undergo at least one significant collision in their lifetime.

Sombrero Galaxy Wall Poster

Sombrero Galaxy Wall Poster

Description: The Sombrero Galaxy, named because it resembles the broad-brimmed Mexican hat, is one of the most famous objects in the sky. The light from this remarkable spiral galaxy is dominated by the billions of old, faint stars that form the vast “bulge” around its tiny, hidden nucleus. The effect is enhanced because the disk of the galaxy is seen edge on, and dust in the outer parts of the disk is seen in silhouette. The galaxy is over 60 million light years away.

Tadpole Nebula, Hubble Space Telescope Wall Poster ©Spaceshots

Tadpole Nebula, Hubble Space Telescope Wall Poster ©Spaceshots

The Tadpole Galaxy (also known as UGC 10214) is a spiral galaxy that has been violently disrupted by a collision with a smaller companion galaxy, which is visible as the compact, blue object in the upper left corner of the much more massive Tadpole galaxy. Strong gravitational forces from the interaction between the galaxies created the long tail of debris, which is made up of stars and gas that stretch out more than 280,000 light years. Hundreds of blue stars and star clusters are visible in the spiral arms of the galaxy and in the tidal debris tail. The galaxy is backdropped by thousands of faint background galaxies. The Tadpole Galaxy is located some 420 million light years away toward the constellation Draco.
