It is mind blowing indeed. Even when it seems logical to think "who took that picture?", not many people realize that
So where is Santraginus V?

I think the center of the galaxy.
That's actually the place in our Galaxy only. The universe have thousands of millions and millions of pictures like this combined in a space no one knows how big it really is.

yes, I should have said Milky Way Galaxy, so sorry.
@AntaresRose No reason to be sorry...... Actually a funny and interesting fact, your sentence would've been correct a little bit more than just hundred years ago. That's right, it's not that long ago when the "known" universe was our own galaxy. Then Hubble (Edwin, the actual dude...not the telescope named after him) comes up and said - "Wait a minute, I think there's more here".... Boy, were we bound for a big surprise or what !?

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
