Description: M95 was one of the galaxies in the key project of the Hubble Space Telescope for the determination of the Hubble constant: the HST was employed to look for Cepheid variables and thereby determine this galaxys distance. It is a barred spiral of type SBb, or SB(r)ab according to de Vaucouleurs classification, with nearly circular arms. Alan Sandage, in the Hubble Atlas of Galaxies, calls it a ypical ringed galaxy. This picture was taken with the LDSS-2 instrument in imaging mode, on the WHT.Images taken in three filters (red, green and blue) were combined to create this true colour picture.

Description: Most of the galaxies in the Universe lie in large clusters where gavitational forces play an important role. These clusters are used to prove the Laws of General Relativity because they act as large gravitational lenses, refracting the light coming from the objects behind them. Abell 2218 is a massive gravitational lens. Image obtained using INGRID on the William Herschel Telescope. PDF version: https://www.ing.iac.es/PR/dissemination/abell2218.pdf
