Then there are also a number of Messier objects:
| M95 |
Leo |
Barred spiral galaxy |
| M96 |
Leo |
Spiral galaxy |
| M105 |
Leo |
Elliptical galaxy |
| M65 |
Leo |
Spiral galaxy |
| M66 |
Leo |
Spiral galaxy |
| Wolf 359 |
Leo |
Red dwarf star |
However, Wolf 359 came to the attention of astronomers too late to be of interest when studying the rongorongo texts.
None of these Messier objects seem to have a name and I will therefore not include them in my list.
