Description

The Whirlpool Galaxy is named after its distinctive shape, which resembles a whirlpool. The bar at the center of the galaxy has a spiral structure similar to that of the Milky Way, but it is much more massive and complex. The arms of the galaxy are also much longer than those of the Milky Way, and they contain many more stars and gas than our own galaxy. The elliptical shape of the companion galaxy is likely due to its closer proximity to the primary galaxy, which has caused it to become tidally locked with the primary. (Ollama generated text)
