“Galaxy Wars: M81 and M82” is copyrighted by Dietmar Hager. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteM81 and M82 are two galaxies locked in a gravitational dance, twelve million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. M81 is a grand spiral galaxy with bright arms and a yellow core. M82 is an irregular galaxy, marked by red gas and dust clouds, both profoundly affected by a billion years of close encounters.
