A number of people have requested I add this stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of the Whirlpool Galaxy Messier 51 to the collection - so I now have!

This image is available in Acrylic, Aluminium and Framed Backlit at sizes from 18" width to 48" widths. All limited editions.

The Whirlpool Galaxy M51


The graceful, winding arms of the majestic spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) appear like a grand spiral staircase sweeping through space. They are actually long lanes of stars and gas laced with dust.

This sharpest-ever image, taken in January 2005 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, illustrates a spiral galaxy's grand design, from its curving spiral arms, where young stars reside, to its yellowish central core, a home of older stars. The galaxy is nicknamed the Whirlpool because of its swirling structure.
