	Blackeye Galaxy
		The Blackeye Galaxy is a galaxy which is located in the constellation Coma Berenices.
		The Blackeye Galaxy is located at 12 56.7 right ascension and 21 41 declination.
		This Galaxy has an apparent angular size of 9.3 x 5.4 and a visual brightness of 8.5.

	Sea and Sky's Astronomy Resources: Messier Objects M61 - M70
		This galaxy is located about 37 million light years from Earth, and is part of a group of galaxies that includes M51.
		The galaxy's magnitude of 9.3 may make it a bit challenging to find with binoculars, but it is an easy target for the telescope.
		The galaxy's spirals are believed to have been deformed by close encounters with its neighbors.

	M64
		The Blackeye Galaxy, M64, resides at a distance of 19milllion light years within the constellation Coma Berenices.
		Millions of years ago, a small galaxy tore through the center of a larger galaxy, disintigrating as it became absorbed.
		This interaction left the inner part of the galaxy rotating in the opposite direction from the outer regions of the galaxy.

	M64 The Blackeye Galaxy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Sleeping Beauty galaxy may appear peaceful at first sight but it is actually tossing and turning.
		In an unexpected twist, recent observations have shown that the center of this photogenic galaxy is rotating in the opposite direction than the outer regions!
		The fascinating internal motions of M64, also cataloged as NGC 4826, are thought to be the result of a collision between a small galaxy and a large galaxy - where the resultant mix has not yet settled down.

	M64 - Blackeye Galaxy
		This galaxy is sometimes called Sleeping Beauty Galaxy.
		The interesting characteristic about this object is that the stars and gasses in the exterior are rotating the oposite direction of the center of the galaxy.
		Estimated to be from 10 - 20 million light years away.

	Messier Object 64
		It is speculated that this peculiar disk and dust lane may be caused by material from a former companion which has been accreted but has yet to settle into the mean orbital plane of the disk.
		The distance of this galaxy seems to be not very well determined.
		The radial velocity of 377 km/sec in recession would yield about 16 million light years (H0=75), but this is certainly very inacurate, as the direction to this galaxy is close to the Virgo cluster, so that a considerable deviation from the Hubble law must be taken into account.

	Galaxy M64 - Blackeye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		As in the majority of galaxies, all of the stars in M64 are rotating in the same direction, clockwise as seen in the Hubble image.
		However, detailed studies in the 1990's led to the remarkable discovery that the interstellar gas in the outer regions of M64 rotates in the opposite direction from the gas and stars in the inner regions.
		This small galaxy has now been almost completely destroyed, but signs of the collision persist in the backward motion of gas at the outer edge of M64.

		This feature also enables one to determine, or at least estimate, which of the galaxy’s sides is nearer and which more remote; in case of M64, it seems that the southern side is nearer to us.
		De Vaucouleurs (1975) has included these two galaxies, together with M94 and a number of fainter galaxies, as a member of a nearby group or cloud of galaxies, the Canes Venatici I (CVn I) Cloud or M94 group.
		The characteristic feature of the Blackeye Galaxy M64, the dark dust pattern, situated to the SSW direction from the nucleus, can be glimpsed with telescopes starting from 4 inch aperture, and get definitely resolved in 6-inch scopes.

		M-64, or the "Blackeye Galaxy", can be found near 35 Comae and is both large and bright.
		The nuclear region has a sparkling, grainy texture; this is not to be mistaken for resolving the actual nucleus.
		This beautiful object gets its name from the dark, crescent shaped patch which, though not at all impossible, is fairly difficult to observe.

		The galaxy M81 is an example of a "Grand Design Spiral", because its arms are clearly defined and wrap all the way around the bulge.
		The defining propery of elliptical galaxies is their smooth shape and lack of arms or other features.

	Best of AOP: M64: The Blackeye Galaxy
		M64 was recently shown to have two counterrotating systems of stars and gas in its disk: The inner part is about 6,000 light years across and is rubbing along the inner edge of the outer disk, which rotates opposite and extends up to at least 40,000 light years.
		The fascinating internal motions of M64 are thought to be the result of a collision between a small galaxy and a large galaxy - where the resultant mix has not yet settled down.
		The peculiar dust lane on one side of the nucleus (also a site of star formation, as shown by the blue knots imbedded in it) may be caused by material from a former companion which has been accreted but has yet to settle into the mean orbital plane of the disk.

		The Blackeye Galaxy gets its name from a band of dust obscuring part of its nucleus' midsection; it is also called the "Sleeping Beauty" galaxy because the band resembles the crease of a closed eyelid.
		The spiral arms of the Blackeye galaxy are so circular and tightly compacted they're even difficult to separate using ground telescopes.
