Great shot. Look closely and I count at least eight other galaxies just in the field of view of this photo.

Completely boggles my mind that just in those galaxies each one contains more stars then I would ever be able to count to, and each of those stars could (probably not but could) have planets.

Yet somehow we are arrogant enough to believe that we are the only ones here...that is an awful lot of wasted space.

“Messier 63 is about 25 million light-years distant in the loyal constellation Canes Venatici. Also cataloged as NGC 5055, the majestic island universe is nearly 100,000 light-years across”

its almost beyond comprehension how big the universe is and many stars and galaxies there are.
