[Image description: Hundreds of galaxies appear in this view, which is set against the black background of space. There are many overlapping objects at various distances. They include large, blue foreground stars, some with eight diffraction spikes, and white and pink spiral and elliptical galaxies. Numerous tiny orange dots appear throughout the scene.]
This picture makes me feel so relaxed. Like seeing fireflies on a warm summer night in Delaware.
Perhaps it's because there's so much beyond what we will ever even be able to explore. I love seeing the soft blue glow of entire galaxies. Reminds me of the soft, early morning light when you are on a predawn flight above the clouds, and anything feels like a new adventure :)
