You are aware this means 30 more James Cordens?

Hold up. There's only one Milky Way Galaxy, and we're not going to float idly while these ~30 imitators try to capitalize on our name.

Hold up, whats with copy/paste galaxy bottom right? I know gravatational lensing is a thing but that just looks silly

For the people who don't know: Those are foreground stars, the black center is due to the camera pixels becoming overloaded and leaking into adjacent pixels. So no UFOs and not galaxies.

And it seems someone wanted the image to be wider so there is a bit copy pasted on the right it seems. Very weird edit really.

Ahh thanks. I didn't catch those were stars
