A spiral galaxy of stars in the shape of a Pinwheel against a dark sky background.

40 mins pinwheeling with #M101 #messier101 #PinwheelGalaxy. It was interesting to compare this recent image with my one of 2023 with its supernova. No sign of the star now. I didn't have time for the Ha filter - maybe a task for the future. #astronomy #astrophotography

I shot about 25 hours on the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101). I first captured about 22 hours RGB color data and then a few additional hours of Hydrogen alpha data. I also included a closeup since the details really came out nicely in the core.

pinwheel galaxy

The Wheel is yours 
to draw, to turn.
 
But in order to do this, 
you must stand 
in the center. 
Within that center 
of who you are 
in your soul, 
that's where the power lies. 

Draw your life, then,
from the center.

Stunning image of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), a grand design spiral galaxy approximately 23 million light-years away in Ursa Major. The image showcases M101's vibrant spiral arms, interspersed with blue young stars, pink star-forming regions, and dark dust lanes. Its companion galaxy, NGC 5474, is visible in the lower right. Foreground stars from our own Milky Way are also captured in the image.

The Pinwheel Galaxy is approximately 25 million light years from earth! Each year I take an image of M101 to help measure my improvements

Here we have M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy in LRGB+Ha. This is first light with the Astro-Tech AT130EDX. Enjoy!

Image of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) with the newly discovered Type Ia supernova PTF11kly indicated by an arrow. This relatively close supernova, only 21 million light-years away, offers a unique opportunity to study this type of stellar explosion in detail. The image is a composite from various telescopes.

When the light we see from the Pinwheel Galaxy today left its stars, early apes hadn’t yet evolved. Earth was warmer; palm trees grew in the Arctic; mammals were starting to diversify after the dinosaurs' extinction.

Stunning image of the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), a face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum. Its vibrant blue star clusters and pink star-forming regions are beautifully showcased against a backdrop of countless stars. M33 is a significant galaxy in the Local Group, serving as a cosmic yardstick for measuring distances in the universe. The image highlights the brightest star-forming region, NGC 604.

M 101 and Friends An astrophotograph by Stefan Kellner on AstroBin

Who says you can't image galaxies with smaller refractors? Ok, it's a bit small, but you can enjoy the landscape. Meet #M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy taken in Berlin.

A breathtaking multiwavelength image of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), a grand spiral galaxy in Ursa Major. This composite, from Chandra X-ray Observatory (purple), Galaxy Evolution Explorer (blue), Hubble Space Telescope (yellow), and Spitzer Space Telescope (red), reveals X-ray emissions from exploded stars and the galaxy's intricate spiral arms teeming with stars and dust. M101 spans 170,000 light-years and is located 25 million light-years away.

Here is another framing of #M101 #PinwheelGalaxy from shortly after the #Supernova on May 19th 2023. It’s 21 million light years away, so this actually happened before there were humans on earth. Look for the second white blob on the lower arm. #LAAS #Astrophotography #ZWO #Astro #Astrophoto #Space

Pinwheel with a white center, red and blue lines curling out from center, and a white ring around the pinwheel. This is set against a black background splattered with tiny white spots as stars.

An image of space with three galaxies. On the left is a small white swirly galaxy and, above it, a red swirly galaxy with a white center. To the right is a large pinwheel galaxy with a white center, red and blue lines curling out from the center, and a white and red set of stars circling the pinwheel.

Pinwheel galaxy!

Inspiration image to the right, again, don't know who to attribute it to. 😕

Pinwheel Galaxy - Psalm 19:1 - "The heavens tell of the glory of God; And their expanse declares the work of his hands." - Hubble Space Telescope image

"The heavens tell of the glory of God; And their expanse declares the work of His hands." Psalm 19:1

Remember to praise God for the beauty of his creation -- the heavens above, and earth where we live.

This is M33, (Pinwheel Galaxy) my prime target the other night, and I was shooting through some serious sky glow from light clouds and an aurora making the whole sky glow a dull red.
