One of the brightest galaxies in the sky is the M81 galaxy. Discovered by the German astronomer Johann Elert Bode, it is also known as the "Bode Galaxy" and is located 12 million light-years away in the direction of the Ursa Major constellation (1 light-year is the distance light travels in one year, approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers). The core of the Bode Galaxy is larger than that of the Milky Way, and its central black hole is 70 million times the mass of "Taeyang", which is over 10 times that of the black hole. When viewed through a telescope, M81 showcases a bright yellow core, blue spiral arms, pink-tinged stars, and vast cosmic dust lanes.
