05-Feb-2009: A spectacular new image of an unusual spiral galaxy in the Coma Galaxy Cluster has been created from data taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It reveals fine details of the galaxy, NGC 4921, as well as an extraordinary rich background of more remote galaxies stretching back to the early Universe.

Good lord. That just blows my mind. People can talk about billions of galaxies each with billions of stars, but until you actually see an image like this it doesn't really register in your brain how vast our universe really is.

I'm glad you found this sweet pic. I saw a small similar version of it in my Astronomy magazine, but this larger one is awesome.
