For any of you that have been watching BBC's Stargazing Live, you were no doubt amazed by this image from the European Space Agency. The image shows the birth of a galaxy, you can find it just south of Orion's Belt, it looks like a little blurry star. The image is incredible, it shows the beginnings of new stars (the red/orange glow) as well as evidence of Black Holes (blue/white glow). It also shows us proof that at the centre of every galaxy is a giant black hole.
As an amateur astronomer living in London, I don't really ever see much, so this was great!
