M51 (a.k.a. NGC5194 and NGC5195) was the first spiral structure ever observed by Lord Rosse in 1850 at a time when the true nature of galaxies was unknown. Its undeniable beauty explains its recognition as a true showpiece of the night sky. M51 represents a dramatic demonstration of an interacting pair of galaxies.
