NGC 891- Silver Sliver Galaxy237 viewsAn edge-on spiral galaxy in Andromeda; about 30 million light-years distant; similar in size to the Milky Way. M33 - The Triangulum Galaxy229 viewsAbout 3 million light-years away, this is the third-largest member of the Local Group, which includes M31 and the Milky Way. M51- The Whirlpool Galaxy206 viewsThere are actually two interacting galaxies here; the smaller companion is NGC 5195, and the two have collided in the past, causing all kinds of woe and grief. They are about 25 million light years away. Messier 81 and 82200 viewsThese two galaxies are found in the constellation Ursa Major and are about 12 million light-years away. The larger one, M81, is also known as Bode's Nebula; the smaller is known as the Cigar Galaxy, although it's a funny kind of cigar because it looks like it's lit in the center rather than at one end. Maybe it's an exploding cigar. Yes - that's it! It's a starburst galaxy, with an abnormally high rate of star formation in the center! Messier 63 - The Sunflower Galaxy178 viewsAt a distance of 37 million light-years in the constellation Canes Venatici, M63 is known as the Sunflower Galaxy because of its bright yellow core (not so obvious in this image). At 98,000 light-years diameter, in is similar in size to the Milky Way. Messier 100 and companions209 viewsSpiral Galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices. Surrounded by tiny satellite galaxies NGC 4323 and NGC 4328 (about 3 o'clock and 5:30). Larger spiral galaxy at top is NGC 4312. Messier 101 - The Pinwheel Galaxy239 viewsFace-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. A colossus among galaxies, 170,000 light-years across (Milky Way is 105,700), with a trillion stars. Distance - approx. 25 million light-years from Earth. Messier 104 - The Sombrero Galaxy295 views28 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo, the Sombrero is one of the most spectacular of all galaxies. Messier 106 and companions246 viewsThe large spiral galaxy at left is M106, lying at a distance of 22 to 25 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. A myriad of other galaxies are in the frame, of which the two most prominent are NGC 4248 (closest to M106) and NGC 4217 (disk at right). NGC 6946 - The Fireworks Galaxy236 viewsA face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Cepheus, near its border with Cygnus, about 1/3 to 1/2 as big as the Milky Way, but with a high rate of star formation, making it a spectacular starburst galaxy. About 25 million light-years from Earth and 40,000 light-years in diameter. NGC 6946 - Fireworks Galaxy and Friends212 viewsAn alternate view of the Fireworks Galaxy featuring a neighbor, the open star cluster NGC 6939, near the lower edge of the image. 47 files on 4 page(s) 1 2 3 4 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 64fc74f7496e59de39fa9a2cd19c0aae [am] => 1 [liv_a] => Array ( ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.4 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.25 ms) [2] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.35 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.18 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.2 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.15 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.46 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-12 07:22:17' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.47 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.211' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (2.01 ms) [9] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.81 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 3 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.56 ms) [11] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 13 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.23 ms) [12] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '3' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.38 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '3' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.23 ms) [14] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 3 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.47 ms) [15] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='3' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) OR (keywords like '%27telp%' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) )) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (2.32 ms) [16] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 3 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) OR (keywords like '%27telp%' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ))AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (45.69 ms) [17] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (1.63 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 3 [page] => 1 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
