Bodes nebula is a beautiful galaxy with it's faint whispy outer disc. It hangs there in outer space accompanied by the Cigarrgalaxy, located 12 million lightyears from earth. The distance between the pair is 150000 lightyears. Bodes galaxy is ca 90000 lightyears across, so slightly smaller than the Milky Way.

They can be found just outside the Big dipper, northeast of the star Dubhe.

I find it fascinating that this par, as well as the Andromeda Galaxy, Triangulum galaxy and a great deal of others, are part of what is called the Local galaxy group, and these are all connected by gravity.
Gravity certainly works over great distances.
