	NASA - Galaxy
		Galaxies move relative to one another, and occasionally two galaxies come so close to each other that the gravitational force of each changes the shape of the other.
		A Seyfert galaxy is a spiral galaxy that emits large amounts of infrared rays as well as large amounts of radio waves, X rays, or both radio waves and X rays.
		Because the galaxy is rotating, the waves seem to travel in a spiral path, leading to the appearance of spiral arms of dense dust and gas.

	Sea and Sky: Messier Objects M81 - M90
		This galaxy is located some 60 million light years from Earth and is believed to have a diameter of around 125,000 light years.
		This galaxy is unusual in that is appears to be surrounded by a type of enveloping structure which extends 150,000 light years from the galaxy.
		This is one of the larger spiral galaxies in the Virgo cluster.

	Southern Pinwheel Galaxy
		The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy is a galaxy which is located in the constellation Hydra.
		The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy is located at 13 37.0 right ascension and -29 52 declination.
		This Galaxy has an apparent angular size of 11 x 10 and a visual brightness of 7.6.

		Of the five galaxies in this tightly packed group, NGC7320 (the large spiral in the group) is probably a foreground galaxy and not associated with the other four.
		This unusual galaxy is believed to be the result of a collision of two normal galaxies.

	Messier 83 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 83 or NGC 5236) is an intermediate spiral galaxy approximately 15 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra.
		The nickname "Southern Pinwheel" refers to the shape of the galaxy's prominent spiral arms.
		However, the galaxies around Centaurus A and the galaxies around M83 are physically close to each other, and both subgroups appear not to be moving relative to each other.

	Messier Object 83
		Thus it became the first galaxy to be discovered beyond the Local Group, and the third of all galaixes, after M31 and M32.
		For years, M83 had been the galaxy with most discovered supernovae, but semi-recently NGC 6946 passed this mark and holds the current record with a total number of 8.
		Southerners may find it easier by locating M83 from the constellation Centaurus, as it is just north of the border from Hydra to this constellation.

	Pinwheel Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is a face-on spiral galaxy about 27 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.
		On February 28, 2006, NASA and the ESA released a very detailed image of Pinwheel Galaxy, which was the largest and most detailed image of a galaxy by Hubble Space Telescope at the time.
		It is thought that in the recent past (speaking in galactic terms) M101 underwent a near collision with another galaxy and the associated gravitational tidal forces caused the asymmetry.

		M31 is a large spiral galaxy in the Local Group: it is the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way and possibly a similar to the Milky Way.
		The spiral nature of some galaxies (historically nebulae) was first discovered from M51 by the 3rd Earl of Rosse (1800--1867; AKA William Parsons) in 1845apr at Birr Castle, Parsontown, Ireland using the Leviathan of Parsontown (1.83 m diameter telescope) (CK-366; No-435--437).

	Twin Black Holes do not vibrate at the Heart of Galaxy
		Paris - According to Universe Today, M83, the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, is one of the finest examples of a grand spiral galaxy visible to amateur astronomers in the Night Sky.
		They claim that this relatively light-weight beautiful galaxy face is being vibrated by the presence of not one but two mass-concentrations (nuclei), which could potentially take the form of super-massive fl holes.
		In those few instances where a galaxy orients face-on toward us (and its relativistic jets point right at us), high levels of radiation across a wide range of wavelengths makes detection relatively simple.
