Among all collections\u00a0of celestial bodies that\u00a0have been, are\u00a0and will be,\u00a0no one\u00a0doubts that\u00a0the Messier Catalog\u00a0is the most\u00a0used, studied\u00a0and known.\u00a0This is\u00a0a list of\u00a0galaxies, star clusters and\u00a0nebulae that\u00a0Charles\u00a0Messier\u00a0compiled\u00a0during the\u00a0second half of theeighteenth century,\u00a0as\u00a0“annoying” objects that\u00a0hampered\u00a0his search for\u00a0comets, which was his true\u00a0occupation,\u00a0and often\u00a0confused him.<\/p>\n

I have included\u00a0the entire\u00a0catalog in the following table,\u00a0and will add links to\u00a0the articles of\u00a0La bit\u00e1cora de Galileo where they are studied.\u00a0In some cases\u00a0the reader is referred\u00a0to a case study on the\u00a0subject\u00a0in question\u00a0and otherto the article\u00a0of the constellation\u00a0to which it belongs, which speaks\u00a0of the star.\u00a0Completing\u00a0the links\u00a0will go\u00a0as\u00a0we proceed through the blog\u00a0content.\u00a0Hopefully\u00a0this tool\u00a0will be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
