Summary
[edit]DescriptionMessier 101 - The Pinwheel Galaxy (49791849142).jpg |
The galaxy you see here is known as Messier 101 or, more famously, the Pinwheel Galaxy. It contains an estimated 1 trillion stars and is located almost 21 million light years away. Because it is so far away and because the light from the galaxy is spread out so much, it's one of the more challenging deep-sky objects to view and photograph. It is unusual in that it does not appear to have a supermassive black hole at its center. Extensive observations in radio and X-ray wavelengths have not detected a strong source of emissions in the galactic core. Taken at the Deerlick Astronomy Village on 4-17-20. |
