It is so cool seeing clusters of other "galaxies" in photo's like this.
We are not alone in this universe; no way, no how.

Imagine travelling between galaxies, pure Hollywood. Imagine travelling to another star, maybe someday. Imagine travelling to the nearest planet, that maybe we will be able to do. But, although it is mostly beyond possibility, we have implicitly claimed all that in the image by the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty and private persons will not be allowed to claim or develop any of it.

Interestingly the large version of this pic on the NASA page is rotated. Which way is up?

Thanks for the post. I just bought a Celestron NexStar 8 SE telescope. Looks like I’ve got some viewing to do, especially with my lowest power eyepiece that would just about cover the area in the picture.
