“A Little Drop of Galaxy” is copyrighted by Massimo Tamajo. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis creative macro-astrophotograph makes a drop of water appear to hold an entire galaxy. A close-up lens was used to image a previously made picture of the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, viewed through a water drop suspended from a stem. The galaxy's spiral arms and dust lanes, about 100,000 light-years across, are curved and distorted by the water drop. It is a favorite target for many astrophotographers.
