The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant in the constellation of Taurus. The now-current name is due to William Parsons, who observed the object in 1840 using a 36-inch telescope and produced a drawing that looked somewhat like a crab.

The Antennae Galaxies, NGC4038

Name: Antennae Galaxies

RA: 12h 01m 53.0s

Dec: -18º 52′ 10″

Suggested Exposure Time: 60 seconds

Colour Filters: RGB

Dates Visible: June

The antennae galaxies are a pair of merging, interacting galaxies, around 50 million light years away from us. The names of the individual galaxies is NGC 4038 and NGC 4039. Their merging is causing a large number of new stars to be created, giving the merging galaxies a particularly strong emission of blue light.
