Last additions NGC281 - The Pac-Man Nebula263 viewsA bright emission nebula, part of an H II region in the constellation Cassiopeia; known as the Pac-Man Nebula because of its resemblance to the video game character that flits around ruthlessly and insatiably chomping up defenseless, pathetic little dots.Aug 03, 2022 NGC7635 - The Bubble Nebula - H-alpha enhanced version263 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a hot, massive star within a molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble, preventing it from dissipating, and is also itself excited by the star. The nebula is 7 light years across and 7100 light-years away.Aug 03, 2022 NGC 7293 - The Helix Nebula in Aquarius257 viewsOne of the closest planetary nebulae, at only 650 light-years from Earth. Around 10,600 years old and 2.5 light-years in diameter. Sometimes known as the "Eye of God" or the "Eye of Sauron."Aug 02, 2022 M11 - The Wild Duck Cluster300 viewsOne of the richest, most compact and most massive open clusters known; estimates range from 3,700 to 11,000 solar masses. Radius 95 light-years. 6,120 light-years away, in the constellation Scutum. Supposedly the cluster resembles a flying flock of ducks, although as far as I can tell it could just as well be geese, crows or magpies.Aug 02, 2022 NGC4565 - The Needle Galaxy203 viewsGigantic edge-on spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices, twice as luminous as the Andromeda Galaxy. 40 million light-years from Earth. Satellite galaxy NGC 4562 is shown at lower right.Aug 01, 2022 M64 - the Black-eye Galaxy260 viewsA relatively isolated spiral galaxy 17 million light-years away in the northern constellation Coma Berenices. A dark band of absorbing dust partially in front of its bright nucleus inspires its "Black Eye" nickname.Aug 01, 2022 M85 - Lenticular or Elliptical Galaxy in Coma Berenices219 viewsM85 is a lenticular galaxy in the process of transitioning to an elliptical galaxy. It lies on the outskirts of the Virgo Cluster and is 60 million light-years away, is estimated to be 125,000 light-years across, and is interacting with the smaller nearby galaxy NGC 4394.Aug 01, 2022 M83 - The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy233 viewsA barred spiral galaxy about 15 million light-years away in Hydra, on the border with Centaurus. The nickname derives from its resemblance to the Northern Pinwheel Galaxy, M101.Aug 01, 2022 M74 - Spiral galaxy in Pisces217 viewsFace-on spiral galaxy about 32 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Pisces.Aug 01, 2022 The Leo Galaxy Trio266 viewsA famous triplet of spiral galaxies: Lower right - Messier 66; upper right, Messier 65; lower left, NGC 3628. All about 35 million light years away in the constellation Leo the Lion.May 26, 2022 NGC 6207, Spiral Galaxy in Hercules224 viewsNGC 6207 is the small oval object on the right side of the photo, just below the centerline. It is seen nearly edge-on and is about 30 million light-years from Earth. It is somewhat outshone by M13, the large globular cluster on the left, which is of course much closer, at 22,200 light-years from Earth. May 24, 2022 NGC 4244, the Silver Needle Galaxy in Canes Venatici230 viewsAnother "needle" edge-on galaxy, member of a group of galaxies associated with Messier 94 in the Virgo supercluster; about 14 million light-years from Earth.May 24, 2022 1722 files on 144 page(s) 1 - 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 - 144 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => eaee372452c668d441dee4d18b562285 [am] => 1 [liv] => 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] (1.09 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.23 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '94551f0c724b520ed237d4a722e54630' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (2.13 ms) [3] => 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] (0.36 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.36 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.24 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (2.78 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.29 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-13 19:09:25' [include/init.inc.php:448] (2.41 ms) [9] => 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] (0.98 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.23 ms) [11] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (1) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1614] (0.28 ms) [12] => 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 INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (1) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' ORDER BY ctime DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 396 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1630] (67.16 ms) [13] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.86 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => lastup [cat] => 0 [page] => 34 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => 96081f68636acbee4280e68a6eb88441 [cpg16x_data] => YTozOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiJlYWVlMzcyNDUyYzY2OGQ0NDFkZWU0ZDE4YjU2MjI4NSI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6MzoibGl2IjthOjA6e319 ) ==========================
