APOD9



Spiral galaxy NGC 1097, part of constellation Fornax, is 45 million light years away. The interesting mix of oranges, blues, and purple creates an eye catching attraction to the galaxy. I chose this photo because it has to do with Fornax which is a constellation we will be learning about in the future and it's almost like an introductory to the constellation as opposed to a photo of something we will most likely not learn about, at least not in decent depth. v

APOD8

This image shows Comet Lovejoy soaring past the constellation Cancer near M44 which can be seen in very dark skys. Discovered in September, it is the morning sky's brightest comet. You can also see Delta Canci towards the bottom of the image, a star in the constellation Cancer. I chose this photo because of its eye catching colors and image and its correlation to the constellation Cancer which we will soon be leraning about for future constellation quizzes.

APOD7

This photo of the constellation Draco, the Dragon, shows the Draco Group located in the northern part of the constellation. The Draco Group includes the edge spiral galaxy on the left, NGC 5981, the eliptical galxaxy in the middle, NGC 5982, and the face on galaxy on the right, NGC 5985. The face on galaxy to the right has been shown to be an active galaxy through spectrometry due to its emissions in certain wavelenghths. I found this photo particularly intriguing because we have studied the constellation Draco and recently learned about spectrometry, both of which are included within this APOD. The colorful, variety of galaxies shown in the photo are very eyecatching becuase of their colors and different views (edge/face on views).
