NGC 4244

Magnitude 10.18 edge-on loose spiral galaxy located 14.1 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. A nuclear star cluster and halo is located near the center of the galaxy.

M94

Magnitude 8.2 spiral galaxy located 16.0 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. M94 recently (10 million years ago) experienced a violent event that ejected millions of solar masses of material from its nucleus. The faint ring around M94 is a region of strong star formation. It gives the galaxy the appearance of a bone-white eye staring back at you.

La Superba

Magnitude 4.86 to 7.32 variable star located 1,010 light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It has an atmosphere rich in carbon compounds that block all but red and infrared light from shining through. This makes the star far redder than nearly any other star in the sky. La Superba has begun to eject its outer layers and appears ready to form a new planetary nebula.

Cor Caroli

Magnitude 2.81 binary star located 100 light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was named the “Heart of Charles” by Edmund Halley after the martyred English King Charles I.

M3

Magnitude 6.39 global cluster located 33,900 light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. The cluster contains about 500,000 stars. It also has more than 200 known variable stars, the largest of any globular. Astronomers estimate M3 is younger than most globulars, with an age of some 8 billion years.

NGC 4490 Cocoon Galaxy

Magnitude 9.8 barred spiral galaxy located 25 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It interacts with its smaller companion NGC 4485.
