This is Omega Centauri - the largest globular cluster in the Milky Way! 🌟🌟🌟
It has nearly 10 million stars and some scientists believe that it may have formed as a remnant of a disrupted dwarf galaxy! Strange… 🤔🤔🤔

made a tiny picture book for class. i wanted to challenge the idea that girls loving other girls is somehow adult/inappropriate
if you’re butch in public you’re showing kids what kind of woman they can be. you’re a marvel and an open door. you are something they might have thought was impossible. you are the proof little butch girls need that they can exist grown up and happy and handsome without changing a single thing
A strongly barred spiral galaxy, 110 million light years away in the constellation of Cetus.
As galaxies age, the central black hole increases in size, and it’s effects become more pronounced, leading the a galaxy moving from Spiral to Lenticular and then finally to Elliptical. The central section of this galaxy looks look very similar to elliptical galaxies, with no obvious features, just ancient stars that create an almost haze like feature.
While the outer edges of the galaxy, outside of the barred area, are full of star birth and activity. This is likely because they are out of the range of the impact from the central black hole, but also because the galaxy itself may have taken on new matter from a galaxy merger at some point.
Eventually, it will become a elliptical, just as our own galaxy will, no doubt after several more merges along the way.
