M 101 Pinwheel Galaxy
M 101 Pinwheel Galaxy
The Pinwheel Galaxy is a face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It is approximately 21 million light years from earth. Captured in this image you can see other distant galaxies that appear as oblong stars or smudges. I have included a cropped image as well. These images were taken from my back yard and on a camping trip to Malibu Creek State Park.
