Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is vast beyond your wildest dreams. It contains hundreds of BILLIONS of stars and is so huge it takes light one hundred thousand years to cross it. Yet it is just one of countless teaming galaxies that speckle the universe like snowflakes, extending off into the distance beyond the reach of our very best telescopes. Join community naturalist Dave Sutherland for a mind-bending journey to visit these faint, remote cities of stars. Special Guest Appearance by Messier 87, the gigantic galaxy that houses the first-ever photographed super massive black hole, and some remote galaxies in the process of colliding.
