I captured this image of the Andromeda galaxy right from my backyard. After zooming in and exploring the details, I spotted a bunch of tiny galaxies hidden in the background. After digging around online, I managed to identify one of them—it goes by the number 2MFGC 511. The crazy part? The light from that galaxy takes about 650 million years to reach Earth! There are even smaller galaxies nearby, but I haven’t been able to find any info on them yet.

That’s a great picture, let’s hope you have plenty more accidents!

I got relatives that live there. They don’t visit much with the price of gas today.
