M81 is a spiral galaxy in the Ursa Major constellation, roughly 12 million light years away from Earth. It is very dense with about half the mass and only one-third the diameter of our own galaxy. Like most galaxies, it has a supermassive black hole (of about 70 million solar masses) at the center. It is gravitationally interacting with nearby galaxies M82 and NGC 3077, which has deformed it somewhat. It is very bright, with an apparent magnitude of 7, but still can only be seen through a telescope.

Is our galaxy considered a typical galaxy?
It is sometimes difficult to tell; our judgment of the size of another galaxy is greatly influenced by the DISTANCE to the other galaxy, and the distance to another galaxy is sometimes tough to know with any precision. Astronomers have revised their distance estimates several times, and we cannot know that we're right THIS time. But based on what we currently believe to be true, the Milky Way is a larger-than-average galaxy similar to the Andromeda galaxy.
What is the shape of the galixy?
well ...thir are 3 types of galixys (that we know of) but our Galaxy is a spiral Galaxy shaped like a pin wheal.
Do all stars belong to a galaxy or can a star exist without belonging to a galaxy?
All stars we currently know of are part of a galaxy. Stars are born within galaxies from clouds of gas and dust. If a star were to exist without belonging to a galaxy, it would likely be a result of very rare and extreme circumstances, such as being ejected from its parent galaxy due to a collision or interaction with another galaxy.
What are the 10 brightest naked eye galaxies?
It is impossible to say for sure. Some stars may be very bright, but are much too far away for us to see. All the stars you see when you look outside at night are just from our galaxy. We can only see a few thousand of them, and there are many more than that in our galaxy. There are about 100 billion galaxies out there. Even among the stars we can see, some may be very bright if you were closer to them, but they seem very dim to us. The sun is a star and it seems bright because we are so close to it. There are many stars out there that are a lot brighter than it is, but just seem like tiny points of light to us. So your question cannot really be answered.

What type of galaxy is the m81?
M81 is a spiral galaxy. I have seen it through several telescopes and it is a beauty! There was a Type II supernova in 1993 and I was able to find it in my 6" 'scope.
What galaxies are 12 million light years from Earth?

How much space does the Messier81 galaxy take up?
Messier 81 (M81), also known as Bode's Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It spans about 90,000 light-years in diameter. This makes it one of the larger galaxies in the Messier catalog, comparable in size to our Milky Way. M81 is notable for its bright core and prominent spiral structure.

What constellations are there in the milky way?
Every single planet, comet, asteroid, moon, meteor, star, star cloud, star cluster, nebula, and constellation that you can see with your eyes is in the Milky Way. There is one exception to this general rule. There are a very small number of other galaxies that can be seen if you have very good seeing conditions and know where to look. These include: * The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds * The Andromeda Galaxy * The Triangulum Galaxy (difficult) * M81 in Ursa Major (exceptionally difficult)
