On spring evenings, if the skies are clear, we can look beyond the veil of stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. As we look out into the wider universe we see countless other galaxies, many like our own, but many that are quite different. Come and explore this cosmic 'zoo' - dwarf galaxies, giant galaxies, weird galaxies, and some with supermassive black holes at their hearts.
