NGC 5033 is a low luminosity Seyfert type 1 galaxy with a very pronounced spiral structure and nuclear bulge. It has many similarities to the Milky Way



the dominant member of a small group of nine galaxies. M101 is truly a giant galaxy.



There was once a boy named Milky. He had millions of stars in him ready to shine. He always wanted to be a singer but yet Milky was very shy. Milky dad never believed that he could become a singer. Milky new he was good. Milky always sang to his friend M87. American Idol was in town and Milky wanted to try out. So he wanted to think of a clever name. All of a sudden it clicked he wanted to be called the Milky Way. Everyone thought he would make it. He was hoping that he would. He was very frightened. He new it would be tough. Then Milky Way went to the American Idol try-outs. He was waiting for hours and hours. Milky Way finally got to the front of the line. When Milky Way sang everyone loved it. All of the judges said yes to him, when Milky Way walked out of the doors he had the golden ticket to all his friends waiting there. Milky Way started memorizing songs. Then he packed his bags and went to Hollywood. Milky Way was on his way to the top. He flew through the try-outs and made it into the top 12 with time to spare. The first week Milky Way sang the Beetles and had the most votes out of enemy one that has ever been on the show before. Milky Way made it past all of the rounds by a land slide. Milky Way went on to win the very first American Idol and his first record went platinum within the 1st month of sales. Milky Way had finally beaten his fears of his father and of his shyness. Milky Way was so good and inspiriting that all of the people of this galaxy wanted to name there galaxy after him. Now you know how our galaxy got its name.
