    very cool


    one light year is this many miles - 5,878,499,810,000 ....so the closest maybe planet is 20 x 5,878,499,810,000 miles away.

    Astrophotographer Stefan Muckenhuber sent in a photo of galaxies M81 (left) and M82, obtained in mid-2015 from Tirol, Austria. M81 (AKA Bode’s Galaxy), a spiral galaxy, lies about 12 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Ursa Major. M82 is also known as the Cigar Galaxy. Muckenhuber writes in an email message to Space.com: “I took this picture from a quite dark spot in … Tirol. I collected 16 hours of data and it also took me about 20 hours of processing until I was satisfied with the result. The exposure of 16 hours was necessary to bring out the faint Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) … “ appearing as the gray dust in the image. He notes the IFN, which lies closer to us than the two galaxies, is made visible by the glow of stars in our Milky Way.

    Messier 63 galaxy lies about 27 million light-years from Earth in the small, northern constellation of Canes Venatici (the Hunting Dogs). The galaxy belongs to the M51 Group, in which Messier 51 shines brightest of the galaxies in that group. The spiral arms of the Messier 63 resemble a sunflower, giving rise to the nickname "Sunflower Galaxy." Pierre Mechain discovered it in 1779, and the galaxy made it into Messier’s catalogue as the 63rd object. Image released Sept. 7, 2015.
