Although Wiki doesn't say, I think both of these dwarf satellite galaxies contain a few 10s of billions of stars apiece, as opposed to roughly 200-300 billion stars in our Milky Way Galaxy.

Beautiful, and people say there’s no God.
Wow, beautiful shot. Weird though.

I have trouble buying this as a single exposure. It does check out pretty much as to time and place, but its 180 X 90 degree swath is hard to figure, especially with the deep exposure of the Milky Way.
I can do a piece by piece comparison with the Starry Night view, but I have to roll it around, and it changes the projection as I do so. Well, I can’t point to any single thing, unless it’s the fakey look of that guy in the orange parka!
Wouldn’t it be more appripriate to display the pic upside down so we could more easily put it in context?
