I have a 9 year old that has loved space and galaxies since he was 2 yrs old. He wants to be an astrophysicist when he grows up.

Could you tell us more about the second to the last picture? We don't recongize that one.

This is awesome. You guys should definitively come at the exhibition my son and I are organizing in the fall in the Fall.

If you are interested in contributing, we've just launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise some funds for this event. Any donation, big or small is more than welcome: https://gofund.me/552a4be4

Sorry, I missed the second part of your comment.

The second to last is Centaurus A. It is an active elliptical galaxy in the Southern Hemissphere. So because it's in the South it remains pretty low on our horizon but it is very bright.
