Starburst Galaxy M94
| Title |
Starburst Galaxy M94 |
| Explanation |
What could cause the center of M94 [ http://sirtf.caltech.edu/EPO/Messier/m94.html ] to be so bright? Spiral galaxy [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/spiral_galaxies.html ] M94 has a ring of newly formed stars surrounding its nucleus, giving it not only an unusual appearance but also a strong interior glow. A leading progenitor hypothesis [ http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2001AJ....121.1395W ] holds that an elongated knot [ http://www.cs.ubc.ca/nest/imager/contributions/scharein/KnotPlot.html ] of stars known as a bar [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001004.html ] rotates in M94 and has generated a burst of star formation in the form of an outward moving ring. M94 [ http://www.seds.org/messier/m/m094.html ], pictured above [ http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/html/im0779.html ] digitally sharpened, spans about 30,000 light years [ http://starchild.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/StarChild/questions/question19.html ], lies about 15 million light years away, and can be seen with a small telescope toward the constellation [ http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/extra/constellations.html ] of Canes Venatici [ http://www.astronomical.org/constellations/cvn.html ]. |
