Pinwheel Galaxy

2009 September 23

I bartended once a place called Galaxy, but I guess that’s another story.

The reason Pinwheel Galaxy is so cool
is that it’s facing us, so that with Isaac Newton Telescope we can see clearly the
awesome colors and shape, of what is technically known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457.
