The M81 Galaxy Group Through the Integrated Flux NebulaImage Credit & Copyright: Nicolás Villegas“Large galaxies and faint nebulae highlight this deep image of the M81 Group of galaxies. First and foremost in the wide-angle 12-hour exposure is the grand design spiral galaxy M81, the largest galaxy visible in the image. M81 is gravitationally interacting with M82 just below it, a big galaxy with an unusual halo of filamentary red-glowing gas. Around the image many other galaxies from the M81 Group of galaxies can be seen, as well as a lucky satellite glint streaking across the image left. Together with other galaxy congregates including our Local Group of galaxies and the Virgo Cluster of galaxies, the M81 Group is part of the expansive Virgo Supercluster of Galaxies. This whole galaxy menagerie is seen through the faint glow of an Integrated Flux Nebula, a little studied complex of diffuse gas and dust clouds in our Milky Way Galaxy. ”http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120313.html

Aries seen by naked eye.

I want to see itttt

I will be stargazing all winter until I find Aries in the night sky.

Why am I still awake?
Why am I researching constellations?

Omg I know we JUST added each other, but I seriously love you already!

Are you an Aries? I was just reading all this compatibility online with my best friend. And I’m currently sketching an Aries inspired nightstand for myself. I LOVE your image post, and I’m going to be stargazing all winter until I find Aries as well. <3 love it!
