Yeah, beautiful!!!!! What I really liked about this image was that MANY years ago in the late 80’s, my dad took us to see a friend of his who built an amateur observatory(seemed purdy darn professional to me) to peek at the sky. He was at a level that he was one of five amateur’s invited to Hawaii for the 86 Halley’s Comet.
Anyway, he showed us our sister galaxy with just a pair of binoculars. I am still amazed that there are folks that still think we are the only rock in space with life. Then again I have an aunt who thinks the earth is only 10K years old.........religion[emoji849]
