Images From Newly Named Spitzer Space Telescope

The magnificent spiral arms of the nearby galaxy Messier 81 are highlighted in this image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Located in the northern constellation of Ursa Major (which also includes the Big Dipper), this galaxy is easily visible through binoculars or a small telescope. M81 is located at a distance of 12 million light-years. This is a composite mosaic obtained with the multiband imaging photometer and the infrared array camera.
