Clumps are loose collections of stars, gas, or galaxies held together by gravity. Click on any object to see it in the Navigation tool (the tool will open in a new window). To learn more about globular clusters, see the
H-R Diagram project.

151.382,0.071 | NED | SDSS |
Palomar 3 (also known as Sextans C) is a globular cluster, a collection of old
stars orbiting the Milky Way.
|
229.013,-0.123 | NED | SDSS |
Globular cluster Palomar 5, which is being torn apart by the Milky Way's gravity.
|
188.283,-0.534 | NED | SDSS |
UGCA 285, an ultra-low surface brightness galaxy. Galaxies come
in a variety of sizes and luminosities; this galaxy is so faint that even the
SDSS's camera can barely see it.
|
184.483,0.436 | NED | SDSS |
UGC 07332, a nearby, blue, low surface brightness galaxy.
|
146.03,-0.658 | NED | SDSS |
UGC 05205 and its companion. These two galaxies are very
young, full of young, blue hot stars.
|
9.895,0.86 | NED | SDSS |
A nearby group of galaxies centered on NGC 0201. Galaxy groups
typically have about 10-20 members.
|
213.785,-0.4934 | NED | SDSS |
VIII Zw 388, a picturesque group of galaxies, discovered and
catalogued by famous astronomer Fritz Zwicky.
|
355.918,0.311 | NED | SDSS |
A cluster of galaxies moderately far away. One of the major goals of the
SDSS is to learn how galaxies cluster, and to use the clustering to infer the
characteristics of the early universe.
