Our universe is vast and amazing, and to think maybe we aren't going to explore anything of that galaxy is mind-numbing. To think that all of those points of lights are other solar systems with planets orbiting them, it boggles the mind the number of Earth-like planets those solar systems would have maybe someone is on the other side of the picture taking a picture of us.

It's also sad to think that that galaxy might not look like that anymore in the present but we see it as it was billions of years ago since that's how long it takes for that light to get to us.

In any case, thanks for posting the picture.
