Absolutely love the last picture.

Everything looks so close... Yet one inch or a little more is equal to a THOUSAND light years.

I wonder if mankind will ever get the technology to even explore our own “inch” of the Orion arm, let alone the rest?

Having pored over hundreds of Sky & Telescope issues in the 60s and 70s I’m incredulous at the complexity of nebulae and galaxies. Even if the various spectra are color enhanced, which I doubt, the details are real. What an amazing universe.
