This is the 51st entry in Charles Messier's famous catalog, the Whirlpool Galaxy. Its spiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy (bottom). The pair are about 31 million light-years distant and officially lie within the angular boundaries of the small constellation Canes Venatici. #AstroCamp #galaxy #space #astronomy #spiral ⠀ ⠀ Image Credit & Copyright: Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn (Weather and Sky Photography) via Instagram http://bit.ly/2B7Hqwp

If our Sun were near the center of NGC 362, the night sky would glow like a jewel box of bright stars. Hundreds of stars would glow brighter than Sirius, and in many different colors. NGC 362 is one of only about 170 globular clusters of stars that exist in our Milky Way Galaxy. This star cluster is one of the younger globulars, forming likely well after our Galaxy. #AstroCamp #astronomy #cluster #stars #starstuff #space⠀ ⠀ Image Credit: Hubble WFC3, NASA, ESA, J. Heyl, I.
