What looks like a long, narrow stretch of stars in this Hubble Space Telescope image is actually a spiral galaxy just like the Milky Way. From our position in the cosmos, we view this galaxy edge-on. Named NGC 3432, this galaxy is located about 45 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Leo Minor. — Hanneke Weitering

Wow, that's fucking sweet.

And remember kids, all this shit happened randomly! Starting from a nothingness that nothinged until something happened!

a spiral galaxy just like the Milky Way.

Fun fact, a telescope has never gotten far enough away from the Milky Way (MW) to take a picture to confirm it's a spiral galaxy. While there are numerous other indicators that the MW is a spiral galaxy, there is no photograph to support this conclusively.

Stunning picture. Hubble rules!
