英文原文:Explanation: The Whirlpool Galaxy is a classic spiral galaxy. At only 30 million light years distant and fully 60 thousand light years across, M51 , also known as NGC 5194, is one of the brightest and most picturesque galaxies on the sky. The featured deep image is a digital combination of images taken in different colors over 58 hours with a telescope from Lijiang , China . Anyone with a good pair of binoculars , however, can see this Whirlpool toward the constellation of the Hunting Dogs ( Canes Venatici ). M51 is a spiral galaxy of type Sc and is the dominant member of a whole group of galaxies . Astronomers speculate that M51 's spiral structure is primarily due to its gravitational interaction with the smaller galaxy just above it. 说明: 漩涡星系是一个典型的螺旋星系。 M51[2] (又称NGC[3] 5194) 距离地球仅3000万光年[4],直径达6万光年,是天空中最明亮、最如画的星系[5]之一。 这幅特写深空图像[6]是由位于中国[7]丽江[8]的望远镜[9]在58小时内拍摄的不同色彩图像数字合成的。 不过,任何拥有优质双筒望远镜[10]的人都可以在猎犬座(Canes Venatici[11])方向看到这个漩涡[12]。 M51[13]是一个Sc型[14]螺旋星系[15],也是一整个星系群[16]中最主要的成员。 天文学家推测[17],M51[18]的螺旋结构[19]主要是由于它与上方较小星系之间的重力交互作用[20]所造成的。
