Image Description and Details : Galaxy M94 or Ngc 4736 is located about 14 million light years away in the constellation of the Hounds. The M94 galaxy is certainly one of the most beautiful galaxies observable in the spring sky. NGC 4736 was discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Méchain in 1781. Messier 94 is thought to have a diameter of 30,000 to 50,000 A.L. corresponding to its main nucleus. Beyond this, a much fainter looking halo extends another few tens of thousands of A.L.
