Every object that we look at for Messier Monday has its own flavor, its own qualities, and its own unique characteristics. By far the most numerous of the 110 deep-sky objects making up the Messier catalogue are the galaxies, of which there are 40. It’s best to observe them on moonless nights, as their surface brightness is spread out across a large area, and even a crescent Moon’s presence in the night sky can make all but the brightest of these galaxies invisible to the eye, even in good equipment. Out of all the deep sky objects in the Messier catalogue, none has proved more frustratingly elusive to me, personally, than the great Pinwheel Galaxy, located just above the handle of the Big Dipper. Although it’s quite large and close, the low brightness of this galaxy makes it a challenge for many, especially in light polluted areas. During this (virtually) moonless Messier Monday, here’s how to find it. If you can find the Big Dipper in the sky, you’ll be well on your way to finding Messier 101, the famed Pinwheel Galaxy.
The last star in the handle is the bright blue Alkaid, while the one next to it is the double star Mizar/Alcor, just barely perceptible as two separate stars by those with perfect vision. (Through a good enough telescope, you might see anywhere between three and up to six stars when you look at this pair!) If you can find Mizar/Alcor, you’ll be star-hopping your way towards Messier 101 in no time. If you can separate Mizar and Alcor, you can follow the imaginary line they create from Mizar (the brighter one) towards Alcor and beyond to the four naked-eye stars you see above. There’s no need to remember their names, although it might help you to remember the colors go: blue, red, white, and then blue again. From that last blue star, you’re going to want to jump upwards again about another two degrees, in the same direction you went from the Mizar/Alcor pair to the first of the naked-eye stars. And in a very nondescript patch of sky, if your equipment and the skies cooperate, you might just find one of the closest face-on spiral galaxies in the entire night sky.
It took a long time to find it, too; it wasn’t discovered until 1781 by Messier’s assistant, Pierre Méchain, who identified this as one of the very last objects added to Messier’s original catalogue. Through their equipment at the time, it might have looked something like this. Very faint, and hard to see against the background star field; it was described in the Messier catalogue as a “nebula without star,” and it’s probably that only the brightest, central region was visible to Messier and Méchain. But as telescopes became more powerful and instrumentation improved, so did our views of this object. By 1851, Lord Rosse was able to identify a number of these objects as having a spiral structure, M101 among them. Located a mere 21 million light-years away, only five other Messier galaxies beyond our local group are closer. And this galaxy has a spectacular story to tell all unto itself. The grand spiral arms are clearly visible in this face-on spiral masterpiece, and pinkish regions — harbingers of newly formed stars — highlight various locations therein.
There are about 3,000 such star-forming regions known to date, an astounding number for a spiral galaxy! And at 170,000 light-years in diameter, this galaxy is about 70% larger than our Milky Way. We can learn some interesting things by looking in other wavelengths, such as ultraviolet. The small central bulge — which contains about 3 billion solar masses — is almost invisible in the ultraviolet, telling us that there’s only minimal star formation taking place there. Instead, the locations of the youngest stars are outlined. The fact that they both trace out the spiral arms of the galaxy as well as creating large, extended swoops tell us that M101 has most probably recently cannibalized a smaller galactic neighbor. This would explain all the star forming regions and would also lead to the prediction that there should be an enhanced number of supernovae in this galaxy. Well, not only is that true — we’ve seen three since 1900 — but just two years ago the closest supernova since 1987 went off in the Pinwheel galaxy!
Looking at multi-wavelength views, we also see an abundance of X-ray sources, a huge amount of cool, potentially star-forming dust in the infrared, and faint emissions in the far-IR and the radio! There’s something missing, though, and that’s intense X-ray or radio emissions from the galactic center! In other words: no supermassive black hole at the center, which is unexpected and surprising! This galaxy also holds a remarkable distinction: it is (as of 2008) the most accurately imaged spiral galaxy — via Hubble — of all-time! You can find the full-resolution image here, but let me just take you on a little tour through the center of this behemoth, made up from more than fifty individual Hubble images! (And what you see below is actually a 15x reduced resolution; the true original is here!) Check out the huge number of background galaxies when you can see through the disk, and check out the huge number of stars and star clusters when you can’t! And with that spectacular slice, we’ll wrap up another Messier Monday!
