Description

This area is jam-packed with galaxies of all shapes and sizes. My favorite is definitely "The Eyes" (the unusually shaped pair of galaxies in the middle of the frame) but seeing all of the elliptical varieties in the same place is pretty cool too. I don't generally love starless versions of images, but this one shows just how many tiny galaxies are in the frame, each containing billions of stars.
