The Sombrero Galaxy. Funny name, but this picture (it is an actual picture taken by the Hubble Space Telescope), stirs deep emotions within me. It is a picture of an object to immense and so distant, it is beyond imagining. And it is beautiful. Within it a billions of stars and wonders that we can hardly imagine. Perhaps there are planets within with life, with intelligent life. WHat is in the depths of that galaxy? I'll probably not know in this lifetime.

Wow. I wish the picture was closer. That's really amazing. I can't even explain. To think there are other galaxies as beautiful as ours. I wonder if the people there (if there are people) have a distant picture of our galaxy. Weird...
