The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as M51 or NGC 5194, is a grand-design spiral galaxy interacting with a smaller galaxy, NGC 5195. It's located approximately 31 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. The interaction with NGC 5195 causes waves in the Whirlpool's disk, leading to compression of gas and dust, resulting in intense star formation in the galaxy's arms.

I LOVE the Cartwheel galaxy. It's my new favourite. The Whirlpool galaxy sounds like fun too though!

Yo Ho, NaPoets! T-MINUS TWO MORE DAYS ( if you haven't already posted today )! Looks like everyone buckled in TIGHTLY in the Whirlpool Galaxy yesterday!

That's good because today we're headed for the Antennae Galaxies to retrieve a very special signal! You can unbuckle, relax and enjoy some refreshing mimosas made with Tang, the astronauts drink!

The Antennae's Galaxy was named such because its appearance is similar to an insect's antennae. We get all the beauty and none of the crawlies!

Cheers!

T-MINUS ONE MORE DAY ( if you haven't already posted today )! Congratulations to our current finishers on hanging in there in honor of poetry and in memory of Eerie! I know it hasn't been easy; however, you hung in there and pushed forward despite the site's shadow of imminent closing.

I am proud of you all. Those who tried and those who succeeded.

Today we reach the Antennae Galaxy to receive a very special message - stay tuned for tomorrow's final post.

Congratulations, Tallen! While we've had our personal ups and downs in the past, when it came to NaPo we were always on the same page. It's been an honor watching you push through difficulties and loss to achieve the writing goal. May life treat you kindly always.

Namaste, friend

Congratulations, Willow!

It's been such a pleasure to have you participate and read your submissions throughout the years. You have such an honest, open, and genuine style that relates to so many of my own personal experiences, particularly with your daughter.

I hope Life treats you kindly and the Muse continues to bless your poetry, because even when you felt it didn't, it did.

Namaste, Friend

Congratulations, Luna! It's been an absolute pleasure knowing you as a NaPoet team member and close friend over the years. My deepest gratitude for your unwavering support, belief, and encouragement throughout these challenges. You've always been there for me and I appreciate it more than I can ever say.

This is not goodbye for us, nor well wishes, because we are a part of one another's Life!

See you on the flipside, Friend.

Tammy
