The Messier 81 Group is a collection of galaxies located in the constellation Ursa Major. It includes several prominent galaxies, with Messier 81 (M81) and Messier 82 (M82) being the most notable. This group is approximately 12 million light-years away from Earth and is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster. The galaxies in the Messier 81 Group are interacting gravitationally, which can lead to various astronomical phenomena, such as star formation and tidal interactions. The group is a popular target for astronomers and astrophotographers due to its striking appearance and the interesting dynamics between its members.
