M101 Galaxy (kind of Interesting)

Yes my friends out comes my Universe Scrape Book of pictures. Reason
this is an Astronomy news group and I must always keep that in mind.(Oh
Ya) Well its a very large spiral galaxy,and under its picture it tells
its in the constellation "Ursa Major" It is known as the Pinwheel
galaxy.I pasted it in my book because its so big and bright (I like
that) I believe its pretty close to our Sun)I like that. Here
is a kicker Astronomers called it first a"spiral nebular"(fudging
because astronomers were stupid) They thought the Milky Way was all
there is. Just like they won't give good thinking to the fact that our
universe is just one of an infinite amount of universes. Well this 101
is called the spinwheel galaxy. Now being very large and given that name
because its arms are widely spread I give you this theory. 101 is
spinning twice as fast as the Milky Way,and its black hole hub is 8
times the mass density of the Milky Way's Go figure This post is
dedicated to Scott Miller a fellow lover of astronomy,and talks only
about are universe and what's in it Chances are he still will find
fault with me and all that's in my posts. I do babble a lot,and I
relate that to age Bert

Huh? Do you really believe that? Please give an example, for instance,
of what well known objects are closer to the sun than M101?

Tom Yes I believe my post. 101 is not what I'd call an object its a big
galaxy. I read it was close. Tom close is a relative term. I don't know
how far away it is from us?? I do know it can be seen with
binoculars,and that has to tell you some thing Also it has to be one of
the first galaxies.. and now we know there are billions more. Bert

M101 is around 8MPC away

And its not one of the first, its quite late as its close to us.

"Although extended 22 arc minutes on photos and quite bright, only the
central region of this galaxy is visible in smaller telescopes, best at
low powers. Suggestions of the spiral arms can be glimpsed in telescopes
starting from 4 inch as nebulous patches. Several of these patches
(i.e., spiral arm fragments) were assigned their own catalog numbers by
William Herschel and later observers; according to the NGC and Burnham,
there are 9 such numbers, 3 of which go back to Herschel who has found
them on April 14, 1789, while the RNGC states that five of the others
don't exist (ne); it mentions however that deVaucouleurs has them as
knots: NGC 5447 (H III.787), 5449 (ne), 5450 (ne), 5451 (ne), 5453 (ne),
5455, 5458 (ne), 5461 (H III.788), 5462 (H III.789), and 5471."

Pudduck Thanks for that site (made print out,and this will give facts to
my universe pictures. So I still stand by my post(memory) 27 million
miles from us is not a great distance unless you compare it only to the
Adromeda galaxy. Bert That site adds lots more interest to this post

Don't you suppose he meant one of the first to be discovered?

Thanks Double-A First to be taken out of our galaxy and shown to be a
complete galaxy by itself was my thoughts. But best to remember I'm
Beeert,and that means Bud light ,and that means I express my thoughts
"blurry" like now In my post I typed 27 million miles away,and even
after 7 more Bud's I can tell you I left out LY's and got away with it
Go figure (I can't) Beeeeeert Cheers HAPPY NEW YEAR
