Messier 81 Image Credit & Copyright: Lorand Fenyes
Explanation: One of the brightest galaxies in planet Earth’s sky is similar in size to our Milky Way Galaxy: big, beautiful Messier 81. Also known as NGC 3031 or Bode’s galaxy for its 18th century discoverer, this grand spiral can be found toward the northern constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The sharp, detailed telescopic view reveals M81’s bright yellow nucleus, blue spiral arms, pinkish starforming regions, and sweeping cosmic dust lanes. But some dust lanes actually run through the galactic disk (left of center), contrary to other prominent spiral features. The errant dust lanes may be the lingering result of a close encounter between M81 and the nearby galaxy M82 lurking outside of this frame. Scrutiny of variable stars in M81 has yielded a well-determined distance for an external galaxy – 11.8 million light-years.

sometimes I just sit and stare up at the stars out my window and like... Talk to them. Like I talk to the stars. It sounds corny or weird or whatever but it's kinda therapeutic honesty. If it wasn't for light pollution I would probably see them better. Who needs therapy when you can talk about your worries to a bunch of balls of light and gas like a bazillion light years away???
