Messier objects, full set
Messier objects. These 110 astronomical objects were catalogued by the French astronomer Charles Messier (1730-1817), a comet hunter who wanted to list the permanent objects in the sky that might be mistaken for comets. They range from the Crab nebula (M1) at top left to the dwarf elliptical galaxy M110 at bottom right. Other notable Messier objects include the Orion nebula (M42, upper left), the Ring nebula (M57, centre right) and the Whirlpool galaxy (M51, centre left edge). Trying to observe all 110 objects in one night is known as the Messier Marathon. This is easiest to accomplish in the spring in the Northern Hemisphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the full set of Messier objects, a collection of 110 astronomical wonders meticulously catalogued by the visionary French astronomer Charles Messier. Originally driven by his pursuit of comets, Messier sought to identify and document permanent celestial entities that could be easily mistaken for these transient cosmic visitors. From the top left corner, we are drawn into a mesmerizing journey through space as we encounter various awe-inspiring phenomena. The Crab nebula (M1) immediately catches our attention with its intricate filaments and vibrant colors. As our gaze wanders across the image, we come face-to-face with remarkable sights such as the Orion nebula (M42), an ethereal birthplace of stars, and the Ring nebula (M57), resembling a celestial smoke ring suspended in time. The Whirlpool galaxy (M51) captivates us with its graceful spiral arms stretching across vast distances. Nestled at the bottom right corner lies M110, a dwarf elliptical galaxy that adds an element of mystery to this cosmic tapestry. Observing all 110 Messier objects in one night is no small feat; it requires dedication and skill. This challenge has become known as the Messier Marathon, often undertaken during springtime in the Northern Hemisphere when optimal viewing conditions align. As we delve deeper into this photograph's rich details, we gain insight into our ever-expanding universe—galaxies upon galaxies scattered amidst open star clusters, planetary nebulae dancing with emission clouds
