The beauty of this picture is astounding. The star cluster is estimated to have several hundred thousand stars. Thinking about this in respect to there being an infinite universe that is expanding makes the human brain seem incompetent. It makes me feel so small. It makes the Earth feel so insignificant. It's really a cool feeling to be put in perspective with the rest of the universe. This picture does it well. This cluster lies 50,000 light years away from the constellation Delphinus. The picture itself spans 50 light years and was captured by none other than the Hubble Space Station.
This picture is my favorite yet. *set as background*
