It is located 11.6 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major and has an apparent magnitude of 7. The galaxy’s central bulge contains much older, redder stars. It is significantly larger than the Milky Way’s bulge. A black hole of 70 million solar masses resides at the center of M81 and is about 15 times the mass of the Milky Way’s central black hole." 

Thank you, Andrea!
