This galaxy is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. The discovery of this galaxy dates back to 1773 by Charles Messier. However, it was in 1845 that Anglo-Irish astronomer William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse through the telescope Leviathan managed to glimpse and draw the spellbinding spiral structures the first known "nebula" to be known to have one. These "spiral nebulae" were not recognized as galaxies until Edwin Hubble was able to observe Cepheid variables in some of these spiral nebulae, which provided evidence that these objects were indeed separate galaxies. What is the name of the galaxy?
