Object name: NGC2294 |
Designation(s): NGC2290, NGC2288, NGC2289, NGC2291, NGC2294, |
This is an image of the compact galaxy group WBL 126/UZC-CG 050 which is about 240 million light-years away in the northwest corner of Gemini. It is composed of 5 NGC galaxies, all quite red in color. Before I researched this group I considered several of them to be red spirals though it turns out all but one are class... |
NGC 2288/IC 2173 is the smallest and faintest of the group. NED fails to classify it while the NGC Project says E. I do agree with this one. It was found February 22, 1849 by William Parsons\' assistant George Stoney with his 72\" scope. |
NGC 2289 to the north of 2288 is classified as S0 by both NED and the NGC Project. Again this seems reasonable. It was found by William Herschel on February 4, 1793 with his 18.7\" reflector. |
NGC 2290 is classified as (R)SAa by NED and simply Sa by the NGC project. How they ignore the ring I don\'t know. It too was found by William Herschel also on February 4, 1793. It is rather red for an Sa galaxy. |
NGC 2291 to the north of the first three is shown as SA(0)^0^: by NED indicating it is rather uncertain of this while the NGC Project says S0. I find it more Sa though its lack of dust might move it into the SA0 realm. Still, it has a faint but easily seen spiral pattern thanks to being seen nearly face-on. It too was ... |
NGC 2294 is the last member of the group and classed E6: by the NGC project and NED. At least they seem uncertain. I see an S0 galaxy with a prominent ring. How this is overlooked I can\'t fathom. Again it is rather red for a ring spiral. I have to wonder if this somehow is part of the reason for the classification. To... |
While three of these were discovered by William Herschel none are in either of the two Herschel 400 lists of the Astronomical League\'s observing program. |
There\'s a rather odd blue galaxy near the top of my image, KUG 0647+336 which NED calls simply a Spiral. A note at NED, however, says it has a blue partial ring. I can\'t seem to see the ring nor do I see a spiral pattern though it does appear to be a disk galaxy and is blue. It seems to have several huge blue star cl... |
A rather odd flat galaxy is near the bottom of the frame left of center. It only made the 2 Micron survey\'s flat galaxy rules, however. Still, it looks darned flat to me. It seems to have a very off-center core which could indicate it is a \"sloshed\" galaxy. Another spiral galaxy is just to its east. I have no idea i... |
Most of the galaxies in the frame aren\'t listed in NED at all. Even some rather bright ones I have labeled with question marks. |
Another flat galaxy is seen at the far right edge of my image mostly off the edge. The portion that is in the frame looks just like an asteroid trail. The galaxy isn\'t in NED so I can\'t give it a designation. I have marked it with simply \"G\" and a line to it showing I didn\'t miss an asteroid. I was certain it was ... |
But there is an asteroid in the image which I\'d likely have missed but for trying to find one at the position of the flat galaxy. It is in the upper right corner and marked on the annotated image. There is a break in the trail as I lost some frames to clouds. |

Interview: Niykee Heaton Takes Us On Her Journey From The ‘Net To A National Tour |
Niykee Heaton won't let anyone knock her music hustle, determined to prove that she's much more than just a pretty face on your IG timeline. |
Niykee Heaton refuses to let the unseasonably crisp 43-degree April temps in NYC bother her during her day of press runs. As she struts into VIBE’s Manhattan offices, she’s wearing a heavy, light-colored jean jacket and an oversized gray NBK (“Naturyl Born Killers,” her personal brand) sweatshirt, which work perfectly ... |
“Don’t wear pants!” she says to me with a grin. “You’ve got such a cute little body!” Her confident, no-f**ks given personality is not far off from the open book presence she’s known for on social media. You may be one of her 2 million Instagram followers, but the 21-year-old blonde bombshell is here to prove she can d... |
The Illinois-bred songstress gained immense popularity via YouTube three years ago by performing acoustic versions of hip-hop songs from the comfort of her bedroom, such as Chief Keef’s “Love Sosa” and Trinidad Jame$’ “All Gold Everything.” Since then, her extreme work-ethic coupled with her mastery of self-promotion h... |
The Capitol Records signee recently wrapped up her first headlining concert, The Bedroom Tour, in late 2015, which was sold out for all 20 stops. A “do-it-yourself” kind of gal, the Florida local self-wrote and produced her debut EP, 2014’s Bad Intentions, as well as her March 2016 mixtape, The Bedroom Tour Playlist, w... |
Her steady rise as a musician has not been easy. Internet trolls and detractors have questioned if she is truly a musical force to be reckoned with, but it seems like she’s not letting anyone knock her hustle, proving that she is much more than just a pretty face. Read on to learn about your #WCW’s experiences both onl... |
VIBE: What’s it like making the transition from YouTube into the music industry? |
Niykee Heaton: For me, it wasn't such a crazy transition, because I never really thought of myself as a “YouTube star.” I never wanted to be a Youtube star. I always thought it was kind of corny when people would just do covers for a living; I never wanted to be known as that. I'm grateful that I could get noticed thro... |
How has having a South African upbringing shaped you, because I know your mom is from there, right? |
I was actually born in Illinois. My sister was born in South Africa and all my mother's side still live there, so I'm actually half. Even though I was pretty much raised in the United States and I only went there to visit family, I always felt like that was home. And I never knew why I felt so out of place in Chicago u... |
What type of music did your parents play in your house when you were growing up? |
My parents kind of had sh*t taste in music. I think my mom was into, like, Steely Dan or something. I was like "you're so annoying." My dad, I don't think he was a crazy music person either, it was more of my siblings. They were the ones who were very musical. My sister had a very deep appreciation for music, and my br... |
Who’s the first rap artist that you were like, “oh yeah, this is my person”? |
I remember exactly! 'Cause I was in fourth or fifth grade, and it was Lil Jon. I was like, "This. Is. Everything." That was the first type of music I got into. |
A little crunk! |
I guess it would be crunk music. I was like, “This is my life! This is who I'm meant to be!" I was like nine and my siblings tried to beat down my door, telling me to turn it down. I was like, "Nuh-uh. This is me now." [laughs] |
What was it like working with Migos on your song “Bad Intentions”? |
They're really cool. I've always been fans of them, and they're just the, like, sweetest guys ever. I was actually on tour, and I was in Atlanta performing and they stopped by to support. I had no idea until I got off stage and they were right there. They came in, performed a song and then, we went back to the studio w... |
When you’re writing songs, where do you get your inspiration? |
I feel like I draw inspiration from everything around me, including my past and things that I went through. I feel like it isn't just the stories I've had to tell from my childhood, it's... I might be going through a rough patch right now, or I might be going through some things, and I draw inspiration from the frustra... |
I get that. You don’t want them to be like, “Oh, she’s talking about herself. Why would I want to listen to that?” |
Exactly. Not everyone got their heart broken by the guy named Jimmy on a Wednesday, but everyone can relate to pain and loss and stuff like that, so that's kind of how I like to keep my music: generalized. |
One of your songs “Devil” (off of the Bedroom Tour Playlist) has a very blues-inspired sound. Did you listen to a lot of blues music by way of your siblings? |
What's weird is that they never really listened to blues! But actually, the way I learned how to sing is that I found a Diana Ross Greatest Hits album, and I literally memorized and mimicked every one of those songs until I could teach myself how to sing. Because I didn't naturally know how; I sounded awful, I was like... |
What’s your favorite song from The Bedroom Tour Playlist? |
“Devil” is my favorite because it reminded me of AC/DC meets Juicy J [laughs]. But for us, we put Playlist out and everyone was like aren't you so excited? We were like, "No, we've been hearing these songs for, like, four years!" I've already written 30 new songs that I'm ready to put out, so we're very tired of them! |
What "it factor" do you think you can bring to the music industry that we haven't already seen before? |
I think the one thing about me that's very different from all the other artists and acts in the industry right now is that I really pride myself on being a real musician and a real artist. I was horrified when I found out that people in this industry don't write their own music. They have nothing to do with any of thei... |
You get a lot of attention on social media, so how do you balance it out, so your presence doesn’t interfere with your music career? |
I feel like it's a hard thing to do. For me, as a human-being, it isn't hard, but I feel like for everyone looking at me and perceiving me as a person, it's hard for them to accept me as a musician and also as a person who is just something pretty to look at. What sucks about society is they have this concept and this ... |
Do you want to be a role model in that sense, or would you rather not have that stigma? |
I never wanted to be a role model, because I'm not perfect. I'm not like a little Disney Channel star who, you know... I'm a human being with flaws, and I never thought that I would have these young girls looking up to me and calling me their idol. It's so crazy to me. Before, I would have said "oh, hell no. I don't wa... |
How do you push the haters away who have tried to discount your success? |
At first it was hard because I'm not a mean person. I don't think I've ever bullied anyone online or said mean things or ever just tried to hurt anyone, so it's hard for me to understand that. That was really crazy to me, so I was like, maybe, I just don't look at any of those things. But what's hard is that in order t... |
I feel like back in the day, people were always showing midriff and skin, and today, it’s such a big deal. I don’t get it. |
I don't know why society sexualizes nudity so much. It's just skin! Unless I'm literally demonstrating the use of dildos or having sex with someone right in front of you, I'm not being sexual. It's just me owning my body and being proud of it. I'm not doing anything sexual, just because people perceive it that way is n... |
It’s always either so hot or so cold! I’m dreading summer, I absolutely hate it. Do you have bad humidity in Florida? |
So much humidity! So, no clothes! I love the humidity though, to be honest, because it's another reason to be nude [laughs]. Just wear less clothes, I said it's fine! |

Sacha Baron Cohen says Liam Gallagher once threatened to ‘stab him in the eye’ |
Actor Sacha Baron Cohen has discussed being influenced by Liam Gallagher for his latest film role in Grimsby, revealing that he once got into a disagreement with the former Oasis frontman that ended with Gallagher threatening to “stab him in the eye”. |
The man behind Borat and Ali G talked about the physical similarities between his character Nobby and the Oasis star on US late-night show Conan. |
“I have had the pleasure [of meeting Liam Gallagher], actually,” Cohen said, before telling a story of the pair meeting at GQ’s Men of the Year Awards in 2012. Cohen revealed that he angered Gallagher by not telling a joke about the singer that he had planned for his acceptance speech, an omission that angered Gallaghe... |
Gallagher allegedly told Cohen that he was “going to stab you in the eye”. Cohen told Conan O’Brien of the incident: “I’ve never heard such a specific threat… Eventually he didn’t stab me but I thought to avoid confrontation by having my hair done like him in my next movie”. |

Dominick Cruz: T.J. Dillashaw is walking into my trap |
Dominick Cruz tells us that T.J. Dillashaw only thinks that he's ready for him. |
Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC |
Former bantamweight world champion Dominick Cruz concedes that, after missing years of competition due to multiple serious knee injuries and surgeries, not even he can say with certainty whether or not his body will hold up enough for him to make it to his Jan. 17 title fight against defending champ T.J. Dillashaw. "Th... |
"We will find out. But all I can say is that my body feels fine. I’m training hard, and I feel great." |
Cruz addresses the concern with no small amount of apparent annoyance. Who wouldn’t, in his position? |
He was nearly untouchable in the cage, but some very bad luck has struck him down repeatedly outside of it, going back to 2011. As a result, he and his fighting career has yet to financially blossom in the way it deserved. |
