A stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of Messier 96 (NGC 3368), a spiral galaxy approximately 35 million light-years away in the Leo I galaxy group. The image showcases the galaxy's swirling dust lanes and bright core, spanning roughly 100,000 light-years. Background galaxies are visible at the image edges. The asymmetry of M96 remains a mystery, possibly due to past gravitational interactions.

Sometimes paintings don't sell. And sometimes I lose a connection I once had for them. And sometimes I don't have more canvases. So this is a great way to create something new.
Stay tuned! #canvas #recycledart #repurposedart #newpainting #galaxyart #galaxyportrait

A stunning telescopic image of NGC 247, the Needle's Eye Galaxy, a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. Its edge-on orientation and a prominent void on one side are clearly visible. The image also features Burbidge's Chain, a string of four distant galaxies, and numerous background galaxies. NGC 247 is part of the Sculptor Group and lies approximately 11 million light-years from Earth.
