What is Pinwheel Galaxy?
Also known as Messier 101, M101, or NGC 5457, the Pinwheel Galaxy is a stunning face-on spiral galaxy located 21 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. First discovered by Pierre Méchain on March 27, 1781, it was later confirmed by Charles Messier and included in his famous Messier Catalogue.

This breathtaking image was composed of 51 individual exposures, complemented by ground-based photos.
