“Starburst” Galaxy is great, but if galaxy M51 wasn’t already called the “Whirlpool” Galaxy, I could certainly see M94 getting it.

Except that you're just seeing the core in that picture. Overall it looks more like a bullseye because something probably collided with it, resulting in the starburst.
