Description

The Sunflower Galaxy Deep fieldAn unusual view of the external structures of M63 to appreciate the tidal tail , stars and dust dancing for millions of years after 2 galaxies collided and merged. At the left bottom corner we can see another structure of the same event similar to the shape of one of the most famous Antennae Galaxies.All the field is mostly filled with galaxies rather than stars. I managed to calculate some distances thanks to the redshift data found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey center and somehow , I reached for a little pixel group, a galaxy that is 9400Mly away .
