The Big Bad Wolves of our Galaxy
This spectacular new photograph of space contains so many bright shining stars it looks like someone spilt a pot of glitter over it! This small patch of our galaxy contains thousands upon thousands of stars, and the two bright patches in the back of the picture are churning out more! On the right is a collection of glowing gas clouds called NGC 3576 and on the left is a very bright star cluster called NGC 3603.
