within or on the edges of the spiral arms of the galaxy
Ionization nebulae in the galaxy M51 are predominantly located in the spiral arms of the galaxy. These regions are where massive, young stars are found, which emit high-energy ultraviolet radiation that ionizes the surrounding gas, creating the colorful nebulae. The ionization nebulae are often observed in regions of active star formation within the galaxy.
The M51 is better known as the whirlpool galaxy.
