COSMIC MESSAGE

How far can you see from your backyard? This image, taken by an amateur astronomer, shows galaxies billions of light-years away. These objects are fainter than magnitude 24, meaning they are incredibly dim. While professional observatories regularly image such distant objects, this picture demonstrates the impressive reach of dedicated amateur astronomy.
