The Vacuum Cleaner Galaxy (M109, upper right) and Phecda (γ Ursae Majoris, lower left) // Ezequiel

The star Phecda (γ Ursae Majoris) is a blue-white giant star about 83 light years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic phrase fakhth al-dubb meaning "thigh of the bear."

Meanwhile, the Vacuum Cleaner Galaxy is about 70 million light years away, and I have no idea where it got its name.

"This is probably not how a casualty should be recovered, but it does show us the power of the American M88 Recovery Vehicle.

The M109 being lifted weighs around 27 tons - well within the 35 ton capacity of the M88’s A-Frame. A more usual way to retrieve a stuck vehicle would be to pull it clear with the 70 ton capacity winch, then tow it back to a workshop." Source
