I wonder if part of its appeal is that it's one of the rare publicised pictures that shows a galaxy from "below". What's next, showing one with a vertical orientation? :)

Whatever, it's amazing regardless...

Though this one's stationary, if you get a chance to see one of these in action, they are HILARIOUS. Other egrets are stealthy and graceful, but reddish egrets charge around like lunatics when hunting, like they've never seen a fish before!

They'll say again and again that a single creator god is the fallback position if the universe is shown to be created.

As an American living in the UK, it was wild to see Boris on TV at the time actually saying, listen to the scientists and take the precautions, just in contrast to what our illustrious American leader was saying. But I'm glad to see Boris isn't being let off the hook just because others were worse.

Brilliant! Thanks for that. Sadly, it now seems to be a Pizza Express.
