Messier 94 (NGC 4736) is a spiral galaxy located in constellation Canes Venatici, and one of the nearer beyond our Local Group of Galaxies. M94 was classified Sab because of its extremely bright inner region. This bright circular disk is surrounded by a ring of active star-forming regions, traced by blue young star clusters.
