Messier 31, The Andromeda Galaxy
This one needs no introduction, I think. The image also includes Messier 32, a satellite galaxy of M31, to the lower right. An additional satellite galaxy, M110, is just outside of the view of this image, just above the top edge. Not the best image of this galaxy I've seen, by any stretch, but it'll do for now.

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".
- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
