M94: A New Perspective
This picture is a picture of the M94 Universe that only lies about 15 million light-years away. This universe is in the northern constellation of the hunting dogs. This picture looks like a swirling beautiful color. It looks like it goes on forever but in fact it is about 30,000 light-years across. Thanks to new multi-wavelength investigation the old knowledge and pictures of M94's inner spiral region only being surrounded by a faint broad ring of stars has been improved and revealed that this previous undetected spiral arms sweep across the outskirts of the galaxy's disk. This universe's optical wavelengths M94's outer spiral arms are followed in this remarkable discovery. This remarkable discovered enhances the outer disk structure. In this background galaxies are visible through the faint outer arms, while the three spiky foreground stars are in our own Milky Way. This picture is a beautiful picture of new technology.
