This section of light suspended in outer space is actually an entire extragalactic nebula , spanning 35,000 light years across and comprise billions of stars . We just pass to be looking at it almost utterly bound - on .
The edgewise shot of NGC 4452 , a disk beetleweed in the nearby Virgo Cluster , was spud lately by the Hubble Space Telescope . All those dots in the background ? Those are galaxies too .
But as awful as this image is , NGC 4452 is n’t especially unqiue ; our very own Milky Way is thought to be about this tenuous , too . Hope you ’re sucking in your intestine . [ APODviaGeekosystem ]
