  2. Just, WOW!

    1. Bob, A 100 thousand light years across.

      A light year is 6 trillion miles.

      I love this stuff for the big picture. Like some Nat Geo dude with braces on his teeth still - isn't come on and tell us every detail about this galaxy and the 600 thousand trillion miles it encompasses. Or I'd think not;-)

      (I just watched a little Nat Geo over dinner. Seems they know every little detail of our past...)

      I visit this site every day. They got it goin on.

    2. Bob, My favorite galaxy so far is The Sombrero

      Click on that one until you get the high resolution version. Like something out of a Star Trek movie.
