Galaxy M106, also known as NGC 4258, is a captivating spiral galaxy located around 22-25 million light-years away in the Canes Venatici constellation.
Its intricate spiral arms are adorned with patches of blue, signifying active star formation.
At its core lies an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN), suggesting a supermassive black hole's presence, emitting a range of electromagnetic radiation.
The exact number of stars in a galaxy like M106 is difficult to determine with absolute precision.
Galaxies can contain billions to trillions of stars, and M106, being a spiral galaxy, likely falls within this vast range.
It's estimated that galaxies like M106 can have anywhere from tens of billions to over a hundred billion stars.
It's my second picture of that galaxy,
first one on 2017 with what I could see a great improvement on the capture, process and equipment.
