Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?

Examples?Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?No, you have it backwards.

The stars we see as formations called constellations all belong to the Milky Way Galaxy.

Distant galaxies are catalogued separately and are NOT a part of any constellation. The human eye was responsible for conjuring up the various patterns. Only stars qualify as members of a constellation, and ALL stars visible to the naked eye reside within our Milky Way. For the record, our classic constellation count is 88. But that's not the same as the Chinese, Egyptian, Norse. Navajo, Lakota Sioux, Inuit, Korean, Aztec, Inca or Dogon, to name only a few.

Whether or not a galaxy can be found within the boundaries of a specific constellation is moot. You really need to consult "Messier Objects", New General Catalogue (NGC), and others to get a handle on the many, many locations of galaxies in the night sky. The Hubble Space Telescope has given us a good estimate of 172 billion galaxies scattered out there. Whare would you like to start?

BTW, how many times are you going to ask variants of this same question, dude?Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?Most galaxies are very small in angular size. There are undoubtedly a few minor examples which fall exactly on constellation boundaries, but they are merely oddities. The only galaxy large enough to span more than one galaxy is the Milky Way, which winds through a couple of dozen constellations.

[Edit] I just did a count, and the Milky Way runs hrough about 33 constellations. The Large Magellanic Cloud is split between two constellations, Mensa and Dorado, but the Small Magellanic Cloud is confined to Tucana.Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?NGC 3321 , type Sb galaxy @ RA: 10h 38m 50.55s Dec: -11掳 38' 55.2" in the constellation Sextans is an extended object measuring 2.511'鈥?1.25', the center of which is only .08' from the boarder of Hydra. It necessarily over laps.



It has a companion, NGC 3322 which likely does the same but I can find no info on it. It is a double constellation hopper.Do you know of any galaxies that can be found in more than one constellation?
If a galaxy were to sit right on the border between two constellations it could be in two. Since they are extended objects this is possible, but I can't think of any where it actually is the case.
