Description

Messier 81 (M81) and Messier 82 (M82) are galaxies in the constellation Ursa Major. M81, also known as Bode's Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located about 12 million light-years away. It has prominent spiral arms and is a relatively large and bright galaxy. On the other hand, M82, or the Cigar Galaxy, is an irregular galaxy situated near M81. M82 is known for its intense starburst activity, likely triggered by gravitational interactions with M81. It exhibits a cigar-like shape due to the high rate of star formation and energetic processes within the galaxy.
