What we see here is incomprehensible to the human mind... of course we know its a galaxy, its as far away from us in space as it is in time, we can estimate its size and volume... but the whole picture, the massive distances in time and space, the possibilities for unexplored phenomena, possibilities and perhaps life...

this image makes us, or at least me, reflect our own lives and place in the universe.

Thank you for posting this.

A stunning image, excellent detail and colour and very nicely processed.
