Like
snowflakes, no two galaxies are alike. 1920's Photographer
Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley shared his view
on the subject of photographing snowflakes: "Under
the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles
of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should
not be seen and appreciated by others."
The Hubble Heritage Team shares these sentiments when
bringing images of galaxies and other celestial objects
to the world, although our views are telescopic rather
than microscopic.
