Stock Photo Description:
Royalty-free astronomy stock photo of of the Messier 81 (M81, NGC 3031, Bode’s Galaxy) spiral galaxy, 12 million light-years away in the Ursa Major constellation. This is one of the brightest galaxies that can be seen from Earth through telescopes. The colors in this picture represent a trio of light wavelengths: blue is ultraviolet light captured by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer; yellowish white is visible light seen by Hubble; and red is infrared light detected by Spitzer. The blue areas show the hottest, youngest stars, while the reddish-pink denotes lanes of dust that line the spiral arms. The orange center is made up of older stars.
