Island Universes

 

 

Far beyond our Milky Way Galaxy are as many as 400,000,000,000 other 'Island Universes', a myriad of infinite shapes and colors throughout the Cosmos.  Until confirmed as self-contained galactic systems unto themselves by Edwin Hubble and others, they were believed to be no different than the gaseous nebulae within our own galaxy.  Our nearest neighbor- M31 Andromeda is a staggering 3,000,000 light years distance!  Simply Click the Thumbnails to open the images.  Enjoy the photographs!  Use the following link  to return to the Main Gallery
