M64 - Black Eye Galaxy. Distance: 17 million light-years. A distinctive feature of this object is its origin from two merged galaxies with different rotation directions. As a result, the gas and dust disk in the inner region rotates in the opposite direction relative to the stars and gas at its periphery.
