In today's image, we see a spiral galaxy known by the catalog designation NGC 247. We see this spiral galaxy nearly edge-on. Also visible is a group of galaxies known as Burbidge's Chain as well as a number of stars that are a part of our own Milky Way galaxy which happen to lie in the same direction as these more distant galaxies.
