Spiral Galaxy M51 in Hunting Dogs and Supernova - The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) in Canes...

IMAGE number
PIX4612380
Image title
Spiral Galaxy M51 in Hunting Dogs and Supernova - The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) in Canes Venatici with SN 2005cs - The spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) is located about 37 million years ago - light from Earth. This galaxy is double; two galaxies interact: the largest, NGC 5194, the smallest NGC 5195. On June 28, 2005 a supernova of type II appeared in M51; this supernova (SN 2005cs) is visible just under the nucleus, in the first arm. Image obtained with two telescopes of 50 cm and 30 cm, composite of several poses. The Whirlpool Galaxy lies approximately 31 million light years from earth. This spectacular galaxy is paired with a smaller, more distant companion whose matter is being disrupted by the larger spiral in a gravitational tug of war. Eventually, the shape of both will be altered over many more millions of years. On June 28, 2005, a new star was noticed in this galaxy. It was confirmed to be a bright supernova, one of the brightest in recent years and similar to the brightest supernova of modern times: 1987A. This rare event, SN 2005cs, is visible on the first spiral arm, directly below the nucleus, as a bright star
