M51 (Whirlpool Galaxy) and it's companion M51B/NGC 5195
More of my husband Dave's astrophotography. He says he's too busy for flickr or other photo-sharing sites; I say these are too cool to not share!
The Whirlpool Galaxy is an interacting grand-design spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It's distance to Earth is approximately 23 million light years.
