@InterstellarUAP Late 90’s ad a kid, looking out the bedroom window. It was dusk, not perfect viewing, but I defo saw a large triangular object with lights in each corner going overhead, slowly moving off into the night. Nobody ever believed me as a kid, but looked just like the TR-3C.

M100, a grand design intermediate spiral galaxy, 55 million light years away.

Zoom in for more detail, dozens of smaller galaxies can be seen in the background.

Didn’t know this was an option. 4k images!

If you tap the image, hold, then click load in 4k you can see images in all their glory.

In this one of M51 the Whirpool Galaxy, you can go hunting for all the small distant galaxies.
