NGC 772 28 Oct 2012 | 09:17 pm
Arp 78, also known as NGC 772, was originally listed in Halton Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies because of its possible interaction with nearby high redshift companions via its extensive and diffuse s...
RXJ0911+0551 13 Apr 2012 | 01:21 pm
RXJ0911+0551 is another excellent example of a multiple quasar system described as a gravitational lens by astronomers and astrophysicists. As with my previous two examples, the Einstein Cross and PG...
PG1115+80 3 Feb 2012 | 06:26 pm
The Einstein Cross is an excellent example of a probable quadruple quasar system described as a distant gravitational lens by current mainstream scientists. In fact, there are many good examples of m...
NGC 1232 and NGC 1232A 9 Oct 2011 | 03:43 pm
NGC 1232 is a wonderful example of a spiral galaxy with a companion at the end of one arm. It is also a wonderful example of obviously discordant redshifts that have either been covered up or are sim...
UGC 892 4 Oct 2011 | 03:51 pm
UGC 892 and its companion 2MASXI J0121174-003312 were first listed as Arp 67 in Dr. Halton Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies published by Caltech in 1966. Unbelievably, the best image I can find today...
ULAS J1120+0641 14 Jul 2011 | 08:59 am
Until now I have only posted examples of close and physically connected objects that display greatly discordant redshifts. But I thought it appropriate that my tenth post be of a single newly discove...
Abell 1656 6 May 2011 | 03:14 pm
I have already posted one example of a cluster of morphologically similar galaxies arranged in a distinct spiral shaped pattern. These Abell clusters are typically grouped around a large elliptical...
Einstein Cross 1 Mar 2011 | 05:01 pm
This image from the European Southern Observatory is of the Einstein Cross, a name given to a group of four high redshift quasars (Q2237+030 or QSO 2237+0305) framing the nucleus of the galaxy ZW 2237...
Stephan’s Quintet 24 Jan 2011 | 05:06 pm
I have long pondered whether to ever post the following example. It is possibly the single best example of visibly connected extragalactic objects with discordant redshifts in existence today. The p...
AM 2052-221 29 Oct 2010 | 11:14 am
Another “lesser known” example of discordant redshifts from the southern hemisphere is AM 2052-221 which is also listed in Dr. Halton Arp’s and Barry Madore’s A Catalogue of Southern Peculiar Galaxies...
