M81 otherwise known as Messier 81


This galaxy sits at around 12 MILLION light years away, and even houses a 70 million super-massive black hole. This amazing discovery was made on December 3, 1774 by the man Johann Elert Bode. This beautiful galaxy can be observed in the Ursa Major constellation and is about 10 degrees North-West of Alpha Ursae Majoris. You can find more information here, my original source.
