Thanks, Civ.

This may come as a surprise, but I have a bone to pick. A mere 5,000 light years wide and it still gets to be a galaxy while Pluto gets kicked to the curb.

Very cool! Thank You for sharing these pictures. They put life in a completely different perspective.

Fabulous! Thank you.
Those who belong to Christ, who MADE it all, will spend ETERNITY with Him, developing it. The misguided souls frantically searching for other inhabited planets in hopes of finding something that might kick God out of the picture are chasing a mirage, and doomed to failure.

Eeekk, its Parallax!

IC 10 is a mere 2.3 million light-years distant.

Just a weekend adventure.
A change of undies a toothbrush and a pair of swim trunks is all you'd need.

Oh, and a towel. Never go anywhere without a towel.

Beautiful. When we retire in NM I think I’ll get a good telescope, since maybe there will be little enough light to see the night sky.
