The universe is a living entity, made up of many different parts. Carefully placed throughout the vast expanse of nothingness that is open space, are these tiny chaotic swirls of beauty and life, galaxies like our very own Milky Way, which are home for various planets not too different from our own. As we progress and develop as a species, our thirst for knowledge also increases and we strive to move further and further out into the universe to see what's out there waiting for us. Here's just a glimpse of some of the beautifully strange and wonderfully odd galaxies that our wandering eyes have managed to find, all of which remind us of the beauty we still have left to discover.
