Galaxy Wars: M81 Versus M82

NASA APOD · Robert Gendler
COSMIC MESSAGE

M81, a spiral galaxy, and M82, an irregular galaxy with dark dust lanes, have been in a gravitational battle for a billion years. The gravity from each galaxy affects the other during their hundred-million-year passes. M82's gravity likely created the rich spiral arms of M81 during a past encounter.
