The Pinwheel Galaxy (M101)
Very famous galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. Those spiral arms looks mighty 💪 just imagine how many possible worlds and maybe life forms are there in this single image. Billions and billions of stars with billions and billions of planets 🤯 how many millions and millions of planets are similar to Earth? 🌍
Galaxies are much harder to process then huge nebulas in my opinion and this one was a challenge. I had like 4 final versions and I kept going back and redoing the image. But I think this is the final version. Maybe 🤔😀
