Description

I have always liked these kind of images. They aren't the flashy splashes of color of nebulae or impressive balls of globular star clusters, but the scale of looking at a field of galaxies is always an impressive sight.

Our galaxy even 100 years ago was considered the entire universe and here is a group of ~ 100 "island universes" in a tiny fraction of the sky.
