M51 The Whirlpool Galaxy

Location: 25 Million Light Years Away

The Cosmic Storm Lying inside M51 is shown well in this split panorama photo as the two images show dramatically different views. The image on left shows how we see M51 in visible light. The brilliant blue strands on light signify areas of star clusters while the pink highlights star forming regions inside the galaxy.

The image on the right does not show starlight, instead it is taken in the infrared light highlighting the huge amounts of dust hidden within the galaxy drawn towards a comic storm at it's center.
