re: Detailed HST image of NGC 3370

Thanks, Marcia!
Anyway, this kind of image is awe inspiring (the distances and the time for the light to get here) and we know it's the real thing.
However, our eyes cannot catch a sight like that. Even if we were close enough to see with the same angle, our eyes wouldn't catch the same sight.
Which makes us wonder what a galaxy really looks like (but that depends on so many factors and ways of looking at it).
