Extra-Galactic Gallery at Billions and Billions.com

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 Links to open the images. Newest ones are highlighted by * yellow asterisks *.
