A new look at the popular M51


The M51 is a classic in astronomy, a model of spiral galaxies and the protagonist of eleven photographs. But this is "one of the most beautiful photographs ever taken of the M51 by an amateur astronomer," according to the judges of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2012. In fact, the Australian photographer Martin Pugh has been the winner of this contest with this photo. Pugh took advantage of the exceptionally stable atmospheric conditions to take this beautiful photo. All the details of the galaxy M51 and, if you look closely, several other distant galaxies in the background are seen with great clarity.
