They donโ€™t look like that through the eyepiece (of my 4 1/2โ€ scope), but still itโ€™s a thrill to see them.

A billion years from now there will be one less galaxy. Should we be concerned?

Some estimates are that there could be a trillion galaxies in the universe, so it probably won't be missed.

It's like the conversation in Huck Finn between Huck and Jim about Solomon proposing to chop the baby in half. Jim points out that Solomon had a million wives and with 5 million children running around the palace, one baby more or less wouldn't matter to him.
