Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series: A fabulous fleece blanket with sleepful image. Messier 106 (also known as NGC 4258) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. M106 is at a distance of about 22 to 25 million light-years away from Earth. It is also a Seyfert II galaxy, which means that due to x-rays and unusual emission lines detected, it is suspected that part of the galaxy is falling into a supermassive black hole in the center.

Barred Spiral Galaxy - Space Star Picture Flip Flops
tagged with: hubble galaxy photography, spiral galaxy picture, star galaxies, deep space spiral galaxy astronomy, barred spiral galaxy, bsgsst, starry space picture, star forming galaxy, starry spiral arms, spiral galaxies, galactic arms, outer space picture, dust lanes
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series: Flip flops featuring a NASA Hubble Space Telescope picture of the nearby barred spiral galaxy. It shows details in the galaxy's star-forming clouds and dark bands of interstellar dust.
One of the most striking features is the dust lanes that extend away from the nucleus and follow the inner edges of the galaxy's spiral arms. Clusters of hot young blue stars form along the spiral arms and ionize surrounding clouds of hydrogen gas that glow red. Delicate curtains of dust partially obscure and redden the light of the stars behind them by scattering blue light.
