Messier 94(M94) or NGC 4736 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, and catalogued by Charles Messier two days later. Although some references describe M94 as a barred spiral galaxy, the \ »bar\ » structure appears to be more oval-shaped. The galaxy has two ring structures. M94 is situated at a distance of 16 million light years from the earth.
