Difference between Messier 81 and Spiral galaxy

Messier 81 vs. Spiral galaxy

Messier 81 (also known as NGC 3031 or Bode's Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years away, in the constellation Ursa Major. Spiral galaxies form a class of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae(pp. 124–151) and, as such, form part of the Hubble sequence.

Similarities between Messier 81 and Spiral galaxy

Messier 81 and Spiral galaxy have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Active galactic nucleus, Andromeda Galaxy, Cambridge University Press, Cosmic dust, Interstellar medium, List of galaxies, Milky Way, Spitzer Space Telescope, Starburst galaxy, Supermassive black hole, The Astrophysical Journal, Triangulum Galaxy.

Active galactic nucleus

An active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a compact region at the center of a galaxy that has a much higher than normal luminosity over at least some portion—and possibly all—of the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that the excess luminosity is not produced by stars.

Starburst galaxy

A starburst galaxy is a galaxy undergoing an exceptionally high rate of star formation, as compared to the long-term average rate of star formation in the galaxy or the star formation rate observed in most other galaxies.

Supermassive black hole

A supermassive black hole (SMBH or SBH) is the largest type of black hole, on the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses, and is found in the centre of almost all currently known massive galaxies.
