Messier 51 (M51) is located around 31 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici. Astronomers call it the Whirlpool Galaxy because of the elegant way its spiral arms extend outward from the center. NGC 5195, a smaller companion galaxy, interacts with it, helping to sculpt its sweeping characteristics.

Crostplay2 Creates a Remote-Controlled LEGO Wall-E

By Bill Smith May 23, 2026

Crostplay2 spent six months transforming the official LEGO Wall-E set into a robot that actually moves and responds on its own. Pixar fans everywhere know the official set looks perfect on a shelf yet stays completely still once assembled.

The finished robot drives around smoothly, tilts its head, waves its arms, plays sounds from the movie, and even lights up in different patterns, all operated from a distance with a PlayStation 4 controller.
