locator star chart for M101

Hubble captured this stunning view of spiral galaxy Messier 101 (M101), which is also called the Pinwheel Galaxy.

Looking like a pinwheel, this face-on spiral galaxy holds a bright-white core at image center. Arms curve outward from the core. They hold dark dust lanes and bright star-forming regions. All on a black background dotted with stars.
