Original – The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope – with a little help from an amateur astronomer – has produced one of the best views yet of nearby spiral galaxy Messier 106. Located a little over 20 million light-years away, practically a neighbour by cosmic standards, Messier 106 is one of the brightest and nearest spiral galaxies to our own.

Reason: Its a damn good high-res quality image of Messier 106, a galaxy of secrets.

Support Looks great in 2000 pixel size but as the one above, loses quite a bit due to grain/noise in full size. --Janke | Talk 14:15, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
