M51 also known as The Whirlpool Galaxy, is a classic spiral but trick galaxy, located in the constellation Canes Venatici (hunting dog), this is one of the galaxies that best shows what astronomers call "Galactic Cannibalism."
M51 is engulfing NGC 5195, galactic tides can be seen, as a result of the interaction between both galaxies.
But do not lose sight of the background, there are some galaxies belonging to the International Catalog (IC), at least 30 more galaxies, belonging to the Catalog of Main Galaxies (PGC), certainly a gift for our imagination.
