“The Coma Cluster of Galaxies” is copyrighted by Dean Rowe. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAlmost every object in this photograph is a galaxy. This is the Coma Cluster, one of the densest clusters we know of, containing thousands of galaxies. Each galaxy houses billions of stars, just like our own Milky Way. Light from the Coma Cluster takes hundreds of millions of years to reach us, even though it is relatively nearby.
