M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy
I have always found images to be fascinating, but today's APOD was just awesome. The spirals of this galaxy are so vivid and sharp, its a wonder how scientists can do this with objects so many light years away. From reading the APOD article I learned that this galaxy is much bigger than our own Milky Way and is located in the constellation Ursa Major. Sadly I also learned that Ursa Major can not be seen from Florida and that the only hope of me seeing it would be in the northern states.
