NGC 1365 (nicknamed the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy) is a giant barred spiral galaxy about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax. The galaxy recedes us at a speed of 1632 km/s. It has a diameter of 100,000 light-years across, making it a large galaxy in the Fornax cluster. It rotates clockwise (as seen from Earth). One revolution takes about 350 million years. Supernovae 2001du, 1983V, and 1957C were observed in NGC 1365. In astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time for which celestial coordinates or orbital elements are specified. ... The J2000. ... Astronomers classify galaxies based on their overall shape (elliptical, spiral or barred spiral) and further by the specific properties of the individual galaxy (for example degree of ellipse, number of spirals or definition of bar). ... Right ascension (RA; symbol α: Greek letter alpha; celestial longitude) is the astronomical term for one of the two coordinates of a point on the celestial sphere when using the equatorial coordinate system. ... In astronomy, declination (dec) is one of the two coordinates of the equatorial coordinate system, the other being either right ascension or hour angle. ...

Redshift of spectral lines in the optical spectrum of a supercluster of distant galaxies (right), as compared to that of the Sun (left). ... The apparent magnitude (m) of a star, planet or other celestial body is a measure of its apparent brightness as seen by an observer on Earth. ... Orion is a remarkable constellation, visible from most places on the globe at one time or another during the year. ... Fornax (Latin for furnace) is a southern constellation which was first introduced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille under the name Fornax Chemica (Latin for chemical furnace). ... In classical geometry, a radius of a circle or sphere is any line segment with one endpoint on the circle (i. ... In astronomy, absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude, m, an object would have if it were at a standard luminosity distance away from us. ... NGC 1300, viewed nearly face-on. ... (Redirected from 1 E22 m) Categories: Orders of magnitude (length) ... A light year (or light-year, or lightyear), abbreviated ly, is the distance light travels in one year: about 9. ... Orion is a remarkable constellation, visible from most places on the globe at one time or another during the year. ... Fornax (Latin for furnace) is a southern constellation which was first introduced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille under the name Fornax Chemica (Latin for chemical furnace). ... The Fornax cluster is the second richest cluster of galaxies within 100 million light-years, although it is much smaller than the Virgo Cluster; it lies primarily in the constellation Fornax. ... Clockwise can refer to: Clockwise and counterclockwise Clockwise (movie) This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ...
