“M64: The Black Eye Galaxy” is copyrighted by Martin Pugh. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteMessier 64, also known as the Black Eye Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy 17 million light-years away in Coma Berenices. Its distinctive dark dust lanes give it a "heavy-lidded" appearance. These enormous dust clouds obscure the central region of the galaxy, and they are active with star formation.
