Pictured in this photograph is Spiral Galaxy NGC 6744. This galaxy is slightly larger than our own Milky Way, by about 65,000 light years. This beautiful, colorful galaxy greatly resembles ours, and is surrounded by clusters of other stars and galaxies. The possibility of something as vast as this, and as vast as the universe astounds me, and blows my mind every time I think about it. It is amazing to think that there are approximately 100 billion known galaxies in the Universe.
