Explanation:
Top to bottom,
this colorful and broad telescopic mosaic links
Markarian's Chain
of galaxies across the core of the Virgo Cluster to
dusty spiral galaxy Messier 64.
Galaxies are scattered through the field of view that spans some 20 full
moons across a gorgeous night sky.
The cosmic frame is also filled with foreground stars from
constellations Virgo and the well-groomed Coma Berenices, and
faint, dusty nebulae drifting above the plane of the Milky Way.
Look carefully for
Markarian's eyes.
The famous pair of interacting galaxies is near the top, not far
from M87,
the Virgo cluster's giant elliptical galaxy.
At the bottom, you can stare down
Messier 64, also known as the
Black Eye Galaxy.
The Virgo Cluster is the closest large galaxy cluster to our own
local
galaxy group.
Virgo
Cluster galaxies are about 50 million light-years distant,
but M64 lies a mere 17 million light-years away.
