Description

Those aren't stars - they're galaxies! Almost everything in this image is an entire galaxy filled with hundreds of millions of stars apiece. And if that's not enough to blow your mind, they're hundreds of millions of light-years away. View at full resolution, and explore the galaxies!

This is the heart of the Coma Berenices galaxy cluster, or Abell 1656. Imaged from dusk 'till dawn from my suburban driveway.
