Description

M81 & M82

These galaxies are gravitationally attracted to each other and affect each other's shape and composition. Intense star formation is observed in both galaxies due to gravitational tides. The shape of M82 on the right is completely distorted and bipolar clumps of material in the main plane of the galaxy are clearly visible as reddish filaments in the photo. Around M81 and M82, very faint dust clumps can be seen, while the star cities about 12 million light years away, these flux nebulae, only a few thousand light years away, are part of the Milky Way.
