Another name of Black Eye Galaxy is Evil Eye Galaxy. Which is scientifically known as Messier 64 or M64 galaxy.
It was discovered in March 1779 by scientist Edward Pigott. Some parts of this galaxy are still not visible because it is covered by black dust. But the galaxy is visible due to the extreme brightness of the nucleus. Hence its name is also called Evil Eye.
It is a spiral galaxy. A spiral is a galaxy that looks like an eggshell. Its center is weakly radioactive and a few X-rays are emitted from the center.
The distance of the galaxy from our earth is about two and a half million light years. It is located in the (constellation) Coma Barenices. Among them, about 100 billion or ten thousand crores of his money are present. Its mass is equal to the mass of 40 million suns.

A cosmic “black eye” shines from 17 million light-years away! M64 (or the Black Eye galaxy) resides in the constellation Coma Berenices.

Easily identified by the spectacular band of absorbing dust partially blocking its bright nucleus, this galaxy is characterized by its bizarre internal motion. This strange behavior can be attributed to a merger between M64 and a satellite galaxy over a billion years ago.

Particularly noticeable in this stunning Hubble image of the galaxy’s core are hot, blue stars that have just formed, along with pink clouds of glowing hydrogen gas that fluoresce when exposed to ultraviolet light from newly formed stars. Get your telescope handy, as this galaxy is best observed in the month of May!

Why do the clouds in the Black Eye Galaxy spin backwards? 

Here’s the answer: The enigmatic galaxy M64, known as the Black Eye, had the mystery of its clouds revealed. The gigantic dust cloud that appears to be trying to hide the bright core formed after a merger with a galaxy similar to the Small Magellanic Cloud .

The outer disk of M64, discovered in 1779, has long challenged scientists because it orbits in the opposite direction to the inner disk of stars. This suggests that these two characteristics have different origins.

In a new study led by astronomer Adam Smercina of the University of Washington, it was discovered that the hydrogen gas in the outer disk came from a dwarf galaxy, which orbited M64 just as satellite galaxies of the Milky Way do .
