NGC 5194 (= M51) -- The Whirlpool Galaxy
Discovered (Oct 13, 1773) by Charles Messier
An 8th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Sbc) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 29 52.6, Dec +47 11 44)
An extensive "bridge" connects the 60 thousand light year wide M51 with its smaller companion, NGC 5195. Clusters of hot, bright young stars, and gases heated by their radiation, illuminate the spiral arms, and clearly define them. Thick dust lanes straddle the arms, sweep across the "bridge" and partially obscure the companion. The pair are just over 30 million light years away. (S.
