COSMIC MESSAGE

M51, also cataloged as NGC 5194, is a large galaxy over 60,000 light-years across, with a readily apparent spiral structure. It is part of an interacting galaxy pair, with its spiral arms and dust lanes sweeping in front of its companion, NGC 5195. This image combines data, including long exposures through a narrow hydrogen-alpha filter, from the Calar Alto Observatory.
