	Constellations: Sextans, The Sextant
		Located between Leo and Hydra and straddling the celestial equator, Sextans is a rather bare and faint constellation which represents a sextant, the instrument used by mariners and early astronomers to measure the positions of the stars and the Sun.
		Sextans contains NGC3115, the Spindle Galaxy, magnitude 9.
		Sextans is a modern constellation created by Hevelius in the 17th century to commemorate the sextant he used to measure many star positions.

	NGC 5866 (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.cs.wisc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		NGC 5866 (also called the Spindle Galaxy) is a relatively bright lenticular galaxy in the constellation Draco.
		The dust in most lenticular galaxies is generally found only near the nucleus and generally follows the light profile of the galaxies' bulges.
		It is possible that this galaxy is a spiral galaxy that was misclassified as a lenticular galaxy because of its edge-on orientation, in which case the dust disk would be more typical.

	Sextans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sextans (IPA: /ˈsɛkstanz/, Latin: sextant) is a minor equatoral constellation which was introduced in the 17th century by Johannes Hevelius.
		The most notable is NGC 3115 (called the Spindle galaxy), a spiral galaxy of magnitude 9.1 that is seen edge-on.
		There are a few other galaxies, including NGC 3156, NGC 3165, NGC 3166, and NGC 3169, a group of four galaxies 60 million light years away.

		Star Wars galaxy - The fictional galaxy where the setting of the Star Wars saga occurs is known simply as the Star Wars galaxy while in the canon it is referred as the Galaxy or the Known Galaxy.
		Lenticular galaxy - A lenticular galaxy is a type of galaxy which is an intermediate between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy in the Hubble sequence classification scheme.
		Lenticular galaxies are disc galaxies (like spiral galaxies) which have used up or lost their interstellar matter (like elliptical galaxies).

		Though stars continue to be born today in galaxies, the current rate of star birth rate is a trickle compared to the hypothesized baby boom of stars in the early universe.
		Analysis of early galaxies in the Hubble deep fields taken near the north and south celestial poles (in 1995 and 1998, respectively) suggest that the farthest objects in the deep fields are only the "tip of the iceberg" of a uniquely effervescent period of star birth.
		It is located southeast of Rho Leonis and Regulus (Alpha Leonis), northwest of Zavijava (Beta Virginis) and Zaniah (Eta Virginis), and northeast of the Spindle Galaxy (M102 or NGC 5866) and Alphard (Alpha Hydrae).

		Seyfert galaxies are usually (but not always) spirals with very bright (almost starlike) nuclei, They exhibit a strong continuum from IR through X-ray regions of the spectrum, with emission lines that are sometimes variable.
		Seyfert galaxies have been among the most intensively studied objects in astronomy, primarily because they are thought to be nearby, low-luminosity versions of the same phenomenon observed in quasars.
