Cosmic Wonders: New General Catalogue 101-200

Amazing Astronomy is in the process of providing a comprehensive and convenient list of New General Catalogue (NGC) objects and will soon update the relevant pages linked above. In groupings of 100, these posts can provide a helpful reference for stargazing and your astronomic knowledge. Galaxies only have the constellation listed, while other features (mostly nebulae and star clusters) have an italicized description after a dash. NGC numbers without info — such as NGC 6, 19, and 56 — are not currently assigned to cosmic objects or may be a duplicate object of another NGC number.

You might notice that particular constellations are studded with cosmic wonders — for example, Dorado with its hundreds of galaxies — while other constellations (Caelum) prefer to give you relatively few yet especially brilliant gems. The universe is yours to explore and enjoy!

Blog Background

The background has three Hubble Space Telescope images:

— LH 95 is a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, Dorado constellation.

— Ant Nebula (also called Menzel 3) is an aptly-named planetary nebula located in the constellation Norma.

— Egg Nebula (also called CL 2688) is a protoplanetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus.
