I like this picture because I don't understand it! I mean, I kinda do, but I can't really wrap my head around it. And because I don't really understand it it's like the neatest thing ever! I could not have even imagined that a galaxy could be that thin, and that there are thousands of stars in that one strip is so neat. Also, it is said to be about 35,000 light years in distance. A galaxy this thin is actually called a disk galaxy, because of its appearance. But since it is so thin it is difficult to determine what kind of disk galaxy it is.
