A view from an extrasolar world in a remote stellar system. Rising above the ancient surface of this terrestrial class planet, the central hub (lower left) of a spiral galaxy is ablaze with the light of myriad hot stars which collectively create the glowing bulge as viewed nearly edge-on. Tendrils of plasma and dust stream between the spiral galaxy and the distorted arms of a "colliding"/ interacting companion galaxy to the upper left. Multiple lunar companions transit a celestial scene illuminated by the galactic progeny on their stellar travels . . .
