Messier 63 – Sunflower Galaxy 🙂
A spiral galaxy in the Canes Venatici constellation, located about 30 million light-years away from us, with a diameter of 100,000 light-years, similar to our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
Around it, you can see extended arms and a halo, which most likely represent "star streams", meaning satellite galaxies and star clusters that have been scattered over time by strong gravitational influences. In the background, other satellite galaxies and dwarf galaxies can also be observed.
