NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“M101: The Pinwheel Galaxy” is copyrighted by Adam Block, Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter, U. Arizona. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

The Pinwheel Galaxy, M101, is a striking example of a spiral galaxy, located about 27 million light-years away. Its spiral arms are thought to be formed by gravitational interactions with a neighboring galaxy. These interactions create waves of gas that compress and trigger new star formation.
