... October 16, 1995 . Starburst Galaxy M94 . Credit: NASA , Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope . Explanation: The spiral galaxy M94 is somewhat unusual in that it shows a great ring of bright young stars particularly apparent when observed in ultraviolet light , as shown above. Such a high abundance of these young blue stars may cause a galaxy to be designated a starburst galaxy. ... Tomorrow's picture: Galaxy Dwingeloo 1 Emerges . ... About APOD | ...

... The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. ... Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ... Brandt and Blitz (1993) published the distances and radial velocities for a total of 206 H II-regions. ... Astron. ...
