		NGC 5194 (also known as M51A) represents the magnificent spiral, while NGC 5195 (also known as M51B) is likely an irregular type dwarf galaxy now located behind the larger spiral galaxy.
		Simulations suggest that NGC 5195 is located well behind NGC 5194 and that the two galaxies are now traveling away from each other.
		The apparent spiral arm-bridge (northern arm) between the two galaxies is an illusion as NGC 5195 is far behind the NGC 5194, the near spiral arm being superimposed over the disk of NGC 5195 in the same line of sight.

		Their NGC designations are 5194 and 5195, with NGC 5195 included in the Herschel 400 observing list.
		The main component, NGC 5194, has a relatively high surface brightness making it an easy detection with 6-inches or more aperture under typical suburban skies.
		Pierre Mechain discovered NGC 5195 in 1781 and his description, which clearly mentions both galaxies, was published in Messier's 1784 catalog.

		NGC 2515, NGC 4582, and NGC 5404), the identity is assured by Coolidge's micrometric measurement.
		Given all this, it is reasonable to suppose that the brightest object northwest of NGC 5529 is NGC 5527, and that a still fainter object is west- northwest of it.
		Given the trapezium layout, and the NGC position (probably sent to Dreyer directly as it does not appear in Tempel's fifth paper), the star I've measured on the DSS is probably the correct one for NGC 5871.

	NGC 5195 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NGC 5195 (also known as M51B) is a small barred spiral galaxy which was transformed into an irregular galaxy due to tidal forces induced by its larger neighbour M51.
		NGC 5195 is a satellite galaxy of the famous Whirlpool Galaxy (M51).
		Because of Messier's description, NGC 5195 is sometimes considered part of Messier Object 51; the main galaxy, NGC 5194, is denoted M51 A. Independent of this, NGC 5195 is frequently referred to as M51 B. This galaxy has undergone a close encounter with the larger and more massive M51 several million years ago.

		The gaseous extensions have diameters of about 1,500 light years and 500 light years, respectively, Their likeness to similar branches observed at radio wavelength suggests they are heated by the high-velocity jets of a supermassive fl hole in the heart of the galaxy.

	Introduction
		The magnificent spiral arms in M51 are due to the tidal encounter with its companion, a peculiar galaxy, NGC 5195.
		NGC 2903 is located at a distance of 20.5 Mega Light years from our Galaxy, while NGC 3627, also known as M66, is 35 Mega Light years away.
		NGC 3627 forms the Leo triplet together with its neighboring galaxies M65 and NGC 3628 which might tidally pull and tug NGC 3627 to deform its spiral arms.

	Messier Object 51
		The famous Whirlpool galaxy M51 was one of Charles Messier's original discoveries: He discovered it on October 13, 1773, when observing a comet, and described it as a "very faint nebula, without stars" which is difficult to see.
		Its companion, NGC 5195, was discovered in 1781 by his friend, Pierre Méchain, so that it is mentioned in Messier's 1784 catalog: `It is double, each has a bright center, which are separated 4'35".
		On June 27, 2005, German amateur Wolfgang Kloehr found SN 2005cs 15"W and 67.3"S of the nucleus of M51 as it was at mag 13.5 (and rising) - this supernova was found to be of type II by the analysis of its spectrum.

		New pictures from the Hubble telescope are giving astronomers a detailed view of the Whirlpool galaxy's spiral arms and dust clouds, which are the birth sites of massive and luminous stars.
		This galaxy, also called M51 or NGC 5194, is having a close encounter with a nearby companion galaxy, NGC 5195, just off the upper edge of this image.
		The companion's gravitational influence is triggering star formation in the Whirlpool, as seen by the numerous clusters of bright, young stars [highlighted in red].

		In addition to NGC 253 (Figure 6), a prime example is M63 (NGC 5055).
		The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51ab, NGC 5194/95) is one of the most studied objects in the sky by both professional and amateur astronomers alike (over 800 references in NED alone), owing to its proximity (8.7 Mpc), angular extent on the sky (~12 arcmin diameter in the visual), double galaxy interaction, and its beautiful grand design spiral.
		Its northern companion, M51b (NGC 5195), is classified as a barred S0, with a LINER nucleus.

		This sharpest-ever image of the galaxy M51 (NGC 5194), taken in January 2005 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, illustrates a spiral galaxy's grand design, from its curving spiral arms, where young stars reside, to its yellowish central core, a home of older stars.
		The galaxy is nicknamed the Whirlpool because of its swirling structure.
		Some astronomers believe that the Whirlpool's arms are so prominent because of the effects of a close encounter with NGC 5195, the small, yellowish galaxy at the outermost tip of one of the Whirlpool's arms.

		Five radio sources (two in NGC 4490 and one each in NGC 4631, NGC 5194 and NGC 5775) with offsets between 0.4 and 4 arcsec from their Chandra positions were identified.
		We conclude the object in NGC 5775 and one of the objects in NGC 4490 are likely recent supernovae while the remaining three objects lack distinct optical counterparts and their nature remains uncertain.
		We present a luminosity function for NGC 4636, as well as a radial source density profile, hardness ratios for the sources, and lightcurves for several sources which display short-term variability.

		In the infrared image the spiral arms can be traced right into the heart of the galaxy, where there are hotspots of star formation on either side of a bright central nucleus.
		This is because starmaking is concentrated near its nucleus.
