M51 Hubble Remix
M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, is the 51st entry in Charles Messier's catalog. It's a large spiral galaxy, also known as NGC 5194. M51's spiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy, NGC 5195. This image, reprocessed from Hubble data, shows the interacting galaxy pair.
