| Description |
English: M51 ('NGC5194 NGC5195') Whirlpool Galaxy in Canes Venatici (13H30',+47°12')
At 37 millions yl distant, this pair of galaxies seems to embrase each other but it is a optical effect: Their distances are completely different. In the blue arms appear roses clouds of hydrogen with borning starts. Yellow color is the mark of older stars. 50'Luminance - 21'RGB Bin.2X2 STL11K - C14 |
