Description

This is my work of M81 and M82. It can be seen in the picture that these two galaxies are surrounded by a large number of IFNs, as if they are bathed in them. In fact, these IFNs are much closer to us than these two galaxies. The IFN pictured here is actually located near the Milky Way and is illuminated by the starlight from Milky Way.
