🌠 If this doesn't make you want a telescope, nothing will.

NASA Galaxy Evolution Explorer took this ultraviolet color image of the galaxy NGC5474 on June 7, 2003.

Galaxy NGC5474. NASA Galaxy Evolution Explorer took this ultraviolet color image of the galaxy NGC5474 on June 7, 2003. NGC5474 is located 20 million light-years from Earth and is within a group of galaxies dominated by the Messier 101 galaxy. Star formation in this galaxy shows some evidence of a disturbed spiral pattern, which may have been induced by tidal interactions with Messier 101. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA04634

Stunning image of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), a grand design spiral galaxy approximately 23 million light-years away in Ursa Major. The image showcases M101's vibrant spiral arms, interspersed with blue young stars, pink star-forming regions, and dark dust lanes. Its companion galaxy, NGC 5474, is visible in the lower right. Foreground stars from our own Milky Way are also captured in the image.

This means that M101 has transient spiral arms supported by mode coupling. This has consequences not only for its interaction hist. with its satellite NGC5474, but also for spiral wave sims as well that have a hard time reproducing strong AND transient arms. More work is needed!
