A large face on spiral galaxy
The Pinwheel Galaxy M101, about 21 million light years away. On the left edge above center is a companion dwarf galaxy, NGC 5477.

The Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) is a face-on spiral galaxy located 21 million ly away in Ursa Major.
Beyond its striking appearance, M101 is home to over 1,200 catalogued star-forming regions, an ultra-luminous X-ray binary system and around 150 globular clusters […]

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
Na de fotoclub gisteren zag ik sterretjes. Haha. Een beetje figuurlijk (want 20 leden in een zaaltje) maar ook letterlijk. Dus ja dan kruipt het bloed.. #fotografie

M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - telescope processed image. Unlike most spirals, M101 is lopsided; gravitational tugs from nearby companion galaxies have pulled its spiral arms into a slightly "off-center" shape.
M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - unprocessed image. It contains over 3,000 "H II" regions—massive clouds of glowing hydrogen where thousands of hot, blue newborn stars are currently bursting into life.
Last image of the morning for the Dwarf Mini. Here is (again) #M101 #ThePinwheelGalaxy. At the top of the image is #NGC5473 #Galaxy. To the left o M101 is #NGC5477 Galaxy. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur
M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - telescope processed image. At roughly 170,000 light-years across, M101 is nearly twice the size of our Milky Way and contains an estimated one trillion stars.
M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - unprocessed image. It is a classic "grand design" spiral galaxy, featuring prominent, well-defined arms filled with bright star-forming regions called H II regions.
Decided to let the Dwarf Mini observe #M101 #ThePinwheelGalaxy. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur
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.

M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - telescope processed image. It is a "grand design" spiral, featuring perfectly symmetrical, well-defined spiral arms that aren't distorted by nearby cosmic neighbors.
NGC5473 Galaxy / NGC 5477 Galaxy / M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - telescope processed image. Located in Ursa Major, this is a luminous elliptical galaxy known for its smooth, featureless glow and dense stellar core.
M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - unprocessed image. M101 is nearly twice the size of the Milky Way, spanning 170,000 light-years and containing at least one trillion stars.
NGC 5473 Galaxy / NGC 5477 Galaxy / M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - unprocessed image. This dwarf irregular galaxy is a small companion to the massive Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) and shows scattered areas of star formation.
Last images of the night for the Dwarf Mini and the s50. Here is their view of #M101 #ThePinwheelGalaxy. First in the Dwarf Mini’s observation followed by the s50’s. In the s50’s image you can seen #NGC5473 #Galaxy at the top while #NGC5477 Galaxy is at the […]

M101 - The Pinwheel Galaxy - telescope processed image. M101 is the Pinwheel Galaxy, a spectacular, face-on grand design spiral in Ursa Major. It's nearly twice the size of the Milky Way, with bright star-forming regions.
M101 - The Pinwheel Galaxy - unprocessed image. M101 is so huge, its diameter (170,000 light-years) is nearly double the size of our own Milky Way galaxy. It contains a trillion stars.

M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. The Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) is a beautiful, large face-on spiral galaxy in Ursa Major. It's known for its prominent, asymmetrical arms and huge star-forming regions.
Good Wednesday morning. Starting with some images from last night. Decided to go look at #M101 #ThePinwheelGalaxy even though it was to low in the horizon at the time. Sure enough is seems the telescope caught part of the fence were I am currently living […]

A spiral galaxy with faint, well-defined arms glows in the center of a star-filled night sky. Countless small, bright stars of varying intensity are scattered across the black background. The galaxy appears slightly hazy around its edges, with subtle wisps extending outward, giving a sense of depth in space.

Esta galaxia (M101) está siendo más difícil de procesar porque el ISO es una barbaridad. Aún así, me sigue fascinando que se la haya podido fotografiar. Es una pasada.
El resultado final en breves.

Different views of spiral galaxies. 🌀
#NGC5907 is oriented almost edge-on, whereas #galaxy #M101 shows its full disk, because we look along its rotational axis.
📷 captured yesterday with my @unistellar.bsky.social #eVscope.
The feeling of having the weeks podcast and three video shorts done and it’s only Wednesday. Weird. #M101

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.
