Bode's Galaxy, M81 // Andre van Zegveld

This galaxy is home to over 250 billion stars, and has numerous star-forming regions along its spiral arms. It is quite a beauty to look at through even amateur astronomers' telescopes!

Also seen in this image is a satellite galaxy of M81, Holmberg IX (lower right). A whole 20% of its stars formed in the last 200 million years, making it one of the youngest nearby galaxies known!

"I stuff my mouth full of cherries. Say, this is the taste of love, and I will choke on it."
