| | [7.0] Beyond The Milky Way |
 | | Galaxies with unusual and puzzling features are sometimes given a secondary classification as "peculiar". | | | However, they were extremely bright, roughly a thousand times brighter than galaxies observed at comparable distances, and more interestingly, their brightness varied rapidly, sometimes changing by an order of magnitude in days. | | | Ellipticals range in size from very small dwarf ellipticals to supergiants, with the supergiants an order of magnitude larger than the Milky Way. |

| | Note that the classification is based solely on a galaxy's appearance, with its absolute magnitude a correlating quantity. | | | As always, any particular size and magnitude listed for a galaxy may not gauge the visual impression for a given telescope, magnitude, and set of sky conditions. | | | Such a level of access, without need of a professional astronomical library, makes many kinds of advanced study and observing programs possible. |

| | Detailed information on Whirlpool galaxy M51 |
| | According to our present understanding, the pronounced spiral structure is a result of M51's current encounter with its neighbour, NGC 5195 (the fainter one in Messier's description). | | | The two "atmospheres" touch each other, the one is even fainter than the other.' NGC 5195 was assigned an own number by William Herschel: H I.186. | | | As it is about 37 million light years distant and so conspicuous, it is actually a big and luminous galaxy. |

| | His 1845 drawing (Fig 1-A) of the Crab Nebula, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy (M.51), is a remarkably accurate version of this astronomic object (Fig 1-B); this has since been shown to contain the first supernova remnant, the first x-ray source and the first known site of a pulsar (4). | | | The Hubble classification suggests that 30% of all known galaxies are in spiral form (60% elliptical), and it is thought (3) that only in the spirals is star formation still ongoing. | | | Using the Leviathan, Lord Rosse became the first to see that some of the cloudy objects known as nebulae - actually other galaxies - were spirals. |

| | The other radio feature towards the eastern (leftward) edge of the image is not seen at x-ray wavelengths, and its origin is uncertain. | | | Far-IR wavelengths are effective for mapping the distribution of dust in galaxies, and as the TIE image showed (above), the "Whirlpool" is rich in dust. | | | The companion galaxy, which is classified as an irregular galaxy, lacks the well-defined structure of a spiral galaxy and appears "attached" to the end of a spiral arm in the "Whirlpool Galaxy". |

| | At these wavelengths, the dusty clouds are more transparent and the true distribution of stars is more easily seen. | | | The regularity and large number of these features suggests to astronomers that previous models of "two-arm" spiral galaxies may need to be revisited. | | | The new images also reveal a dust disk in the nucleus, which may provide fuel for a nuclear black hole. |

| | M51 is the dominant member of a small group of galaxies that also includes the Sunflower Galaxy (M63) and half a dozen other smaller systems. | | | This structure, however, has clearly been influenced by the gravitational effect of the companion, which has triggered a huge burst of star formation in the Whirlpool and has also distorted its arms. | | | M51 is the first galaxy in which spiral structure was discovered, by Lord Rosse in 1845. |
