APOD 1.8

Today I chose to write about NGC 2683 because what it is. Many of the pictures are often of stars or other celestial objects that are in our own galaxy. However, this picture shows an entirely different galaxy from our own, one that is 20 million light years away. This distance has no meaning to people, as distances such as this, or anywhere close to this, are never encountered in a human life. It is also amazing that the galaxy that is seen in this picture is 20 million years old and that it could have completely changed and we would have no idea about it until 20 million years later. This is why I chose to write about NGC 2683.
