> Pick a region at random. Zoom in, scroll a little, zoom in, scroll a little, repeat until you find a galaxy. There. You're likely the only human who has ever seen it and all the wonders it may contain. It's yours to hold. That's your little galaxy.

I like it! Very rotund and hearty.

It's not a galaxy so much as a hyper-dimensional string wormhole network nexus created by one of the most advanced races in the cosmos.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but those have been known for at least a couple hundred years ;)

BTW, I absolutely love that everyone is running with my post and claiming their galaxies, and they’re all so pretty!

I like mine too: https://viewer.legacysurvey.org/?ra=25.0865&dec=9.8563&layer...

Mines: https://viewer.legacysurvey.org/?ra=167.2301&dec=26.6135&lay... I may be completely wrong, but it looks like these two galaxies are on the verge of merging together.

I'm guessing that is a star in our galaxy that is crashing the photo.
