... 31.08.2006 . ... The most striking is clearly NGC 3718 , a warped spiral galaxy found near picture center. ... A mere 150 thousand light-years to the right is another large spiral galaxy, NGC 3729. The two are likely interacting gravitationally, accounting for the peculiar appearance of NGC 3718. While this galaxy pair lies about 52 million light-years away, the remarkable Hickson Group 56 can also be seen clustered just below NGC 3718. ...

CSIRO Ref 98/194 . Astronomers using CSIRO 's Parkes radio telescope have made a picture that shows our Galaxy ripping apart its nearest neighbours. ... The two nearest neighbouring galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (left), are less than a tenth of our Galaxy in size. ... One was a process called ram-pressure stripping - gas being swept out of the Magellanic Clouds as the Clouds travelled through our Galaxy's outskirts." ... Email: hsim@atnf.csiro.au . ...

... Research . ... A rare hybrid morphology radio galaxy . ... In this project we will be able to investigate the environmental effect on star formation and galaxy evolution in individual galaxies falling into the cluster through radio observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Current models of galaxy evolution regulate the star formation rates within the simulated galaxies by invoking radio-mode feedback from AGN. ... Julie.Banfield@anu.edu.au . ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
