Messier 81 and 82327 viewsThese two galaxies are found in the constellation Ursa Major and are about 12 million light-years away. The larger one, M81, is also known as Bode's Nebula; the smaller is known as the Cigar Galaxy, although it's a funny kind of cigar because it looks like it's lit in the center rather than at one end. Maybe it's an exploding cigar. Yes - that's it! It's a starburst galaxy, with an abnormally high rate of star formation in the center!
