Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 4945." Nearby is certainly relative - 13 million light years - but it is closer than some. Found in the constellation Centaurus, NGC 4945 is only about six times farther away than Andromeda, the nearest large spiral galaxy to our Milky Way. X-ray and infrared observations indicate significant high energy emission and star formation in the core of NGC 4945, as well as a central black hole.
