I set my sights on one of the great face-on spiral galaxies in our night sky—Messier 101, also known as the Pinwheel Galaxy.

M81, also known as Bode's Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major. It's about 12 million light-years away from Earth and is one of the brightest galaxies visible from the northern hemisphere. M81 is notable for its active galactic nucleus, which contains a supermassive black hole.

NGC 8307 is a magnificent spiral galaxy that is located about 130 million light-years away in the Hydra constellation.

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way
