Description:
The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51, is one of the nearest and best examples of a grand design spiral galaxy. Located about 25 million light-years away, the face-on galaxy exposes the full details of its swirling structures of stars, gas, and dust. The striking symmetry of its spiral pattern may be due to a gravitational interaction with a companion dwarf galaxy, NGC 5195, which is not included in this visualization.nnThe Hubble Space Telescope's high-resolution view of this magnifice

Jets from the black hole create giant radio bubbles. Hugging these bubbles are filaments of cold, dense gas that could eventually fuel future star formation and feed the galaxy's active supermassive black hole.nnCredit: Written and Narrated by Charles Blue (NRAO/AUI/NSF); Produced by Alexandra Angelich (NRAO/AUI/NSF); ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO); AnimationsScie")
