Messier 101
Big spiral galaxy M101 is one of the last entries in Charles Messier's famous catalog, but definitely not one of the least. About 170,000 light-years across, this galaxy is enormous, almost twice the size of our own Milky Way.

Happy 35th birthday, Hubble Telescope! 10 times the iconic observatory blew astronomers' minds (photos).
Every modern astronomy textbook includes contributions from Hubble.

A new Chandra study shows that there are 1,075 stars within 4 light-years of the center of the Westerlund 1 star cluster. To get a sense of how crowded this is, 4 light-years is about the distance between the Sun and the next closest star to Earth! by @chandraxray
