Description

M81, M82 (Bode's Nebula and Cigar Galaxy) along with companions NGC 3077 (lower right) and NGC 2976 (upper right) make up the M81 Group - one of the closest groups of galaxies (about 12 million light years) to our own Local Group - (the Milky Way, Magellanic Clouds and Andromeda Galaxies) and we're all part of the Virgo Supercluster.
