Messier 94, also known as the Cat's Eye Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located approximately 16 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is notable for its bright core and well-defined spiral arms, which are rich in star formation. Discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781 and later cataloged by Charles Messier, Messier 94 is classified as a starburst galaxy. This means it is currently experiencing a high rate of star formation, making it an interesting subject for astronomers studying galaxy evolution and dynamics.
