Description

It seems the Owl Nebula, M97 is looking to hitch a ride on the Surfboard Galaxy, M108 but has to fly across lots of space to get there!

The Owl is a starburst nebula approximately 2,030 light years away in the constellation Ursa Major with an estimated age of about 8,000 years. It is approximately circular in cross-section with faint internal structure.
