Messier 94 is a spiral galaxy about 15 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. This Hubble Space Telescope image focuses on the central 7,000 light-years of the galaxy. It shows the compact, bright nucleus and the star-forming regions that give it a 'starburst' classification. The galaxy is about 30,000 light-years across, with spiral arms extending beyond this view.
