| The Messier objects are a set of astronomical objects catalogued by Charles Messier in his catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters first published in 1774. The total list consists of 110 objects, ranging from M1 to M110. Many of these objects are still known by their Messier number. For now we do not show all Messier objects but only galaxies. | The Messier objects are a set of astronomical objects catalogued by Charles Messier in his catalogue of Nebulae and Star Clusters first published in 1774.
