Makes one feel quite small.... ;)

Just amazing.. actually....


The small galaxy NGC 1277 is home to a colossal supermassive black hole and is embedded in the nearby Perseus galaxy cluster, at a distance of 250 million light-years from Earth. NGC1277 is the small galaxy in the center of this image. Compared to all the other galaxies around it, NGC 1277 is very compact and flat. Image released Nov. 28, 2012.
