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.
