Very interesting picture

Explanation: Follow the handle of the Big Dipper away from the dipper’s bowl, until you get to the handle’s last bright star. Then, just slide your telescope a little south and west and you might find thisstunning pair of interacting galaxies, the 51st entry in Charles Messier’s famous catalog. Perhaps the original spiral nebula, the large galaxy with well defined spiral structure is also cataloged as NGC 5194. Itsspiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy (left), NGC 5195. The pair are about 31 million light-years distant and officially lie within the angular boundaries of the small constellation Canes Venatici. Though M51 looks faint and fuzzy to the human eye, the above long-exposure, deep-field image taken last month shows much of the faint complexity that actually surrounds the smaller galaxy.
UFO Sighting over Houston for two hours, changing shape & color before disappearing into the early-morning sky,
The witness submitted this video to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which posted it on its website as Case #65255. It happened about 2:30 a.m. March 30 2015, according to the write-up the witness submitted to MUFON with his video. The witness added “At first I thought it was a star, but then I noticed that it was changing color,

IC 8148: Soul Nebula
Earth is about to pass through the tail of Halley’s Comet,
This will start around April 20th and will continue right up until May 21st. The best time to view them will be in the small hours between May 5 and 7, when the sky will be the darkest during the new Moon.
The specks and flecks you’ll be seeing are tiny pieces of debris from Halley’s Comet hitting Earth’s atmosphere and burning up. They’re called the Eta Aquarids as they appear to emerge from the constellation of Aquarius.
The shower will be more visible in the southern hemisphere. However, those in the northern hemisphere should be able to catch the odd one, especially if you’re near the equator. At their peak time, those in the southern hemisphere can expect to see up to 30 meteors every hour. If weather conditions are favorable, even those north of the equator can still see up to 10 every hour.
The Eta Aquarids happens every year thanks to Halley’s comet. It takes the comet about 75 years to travel around the sun, but Earth passes through the tail of the comet around April/ May every year. Halley’s comet is projected to directly pass by the Earth again in 2061.

UFO Sighting Iranian airspace
A passenger on board a commercial airliner has caught some astonishing footage of a disc-shaped UFO flying underneath their plane. The aircraft was flying over Iranian airspace at the time and as yet there’s been no word from any government or organisation claiming it to be theirs. While the object itself is small in the video what’s clear is that it definitely doesn’t have wings in the conventional sense, instead the object appears to be completely round in shape, echoing the classic designs of UFOs we’ve seen in the past.
