Recently Added photos page the caption for M82 reads: "
The image below is of the irregular galaxy M82 (NGC3034) in Ursa Major, the field neighbor to the larger spiral galaxy M81, though four time further away from us."
M81 &
M82 are in fact at nearly the same distance (about 11,830,000 LY & 12,710,000 LY respectively) and are an interacting pair. M82 passed through M81 about 600,000,000 years ago. Very deep exposures show a bridge of intergalactic stars connecting the two galaxies (
Sun, et al., 2005;
de Mello, et al., 2008).
