" I am fond of 'barred galaxies like Messier109 over 65 light years distant in Ursa Major. By all accounts our home galaxy, The Milky Way, is a barred galaxy and must look very much like M109 if viewed from a planet orbiting a star in M109. I love it when life becomes  'a serpent eating its own tail'" - Joel Cairo CEO of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
