800 million light-years away, in the Pegasus constellation, @NASAHubble captured this image of a galaxy floating in space. Tendrils of star-forming gas dangle from the galaxy, seen edge-on. Astronomers gave it a nickname, but what do you see? https://go.nasa.gov/3M2ahKH #NASAExoplanets
at the risk of being a pedant, is “floating” the right term? That word suggests a medium that is being floated in. But I could be wrong. There is so much I don’t understand or my knowledge is outdated. Do galaxies float or is it just the appearance of floating?
