It is humbling and thought provoking even to see a galaxy as a small smudge when we view it with small apertures.
When one of these "incalculably vast Star Cities of infinity" is reduced to a small smudge, we start to get some sense of the colossal distances involved and of the colossal scale of the universe.
Who needs further miracles?
It seems a miracle that a small amount of light eventually makes it to your telescope, light which millions of years ago started its slow (300,000 km/s) journey through space from this 29 million Light Years distant galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars
