Messier 100
Messier 100, which sadly lacks more creative nickname, is a spiral galaxy that can be located within the Coma Berenices constellation. It is approximately 107,000 light years in diameter and is 55 million light years from earth. Messier 100 is also classified as a starburst galaxy, which are galaxies with exceptionally high rate of star formations, with the majority of its star formation concentrated in its bright center. Once again this galaxy is named after Charles Messier for his observation of it in 1781 despite its first known observation being earlier, by Pierre Mechain a month prior.
This image is the result of four separate images taken with different wave-lengths filters by the Stocker AstroScience ACE 24” telescope and then reduced and color combined by Bobby Martinez using MIRA Pro.
