Thanks, Mark. Bit like a swarm of bees - the individual bees are small.

Thanks muchly Kevin. Life appeared here very early, perhaps before it was really decent, volcanic vents and what. It seemed to want to happen. With 200 billion stars per galaxy and rather a lot of galaxies ...

I particularly like how you have captured interaction with two galaxies.

Wonderful work

Thanks so much, Suavi, that's generous and encouraging. We definitely want to photograph things that tell a story, not just abstract shapes.
