To See The Universe In A Grain Of Sand*

Thousands of galaxies crowd into this Herschel Space Observatory image. Each dot is an entire galaxy containing billions of stars. This photo was taken in a region of space called the Lockman hole, which allows a clear line of sight out into the distant universe. This "hole" is located in the familiar northern constellation of Ursa Major,
The Great Bear.
