Bode’s Galaxy - M81 (upper right), the Cigar Galaxy - M82 (left), and the Garland Galaxy - NGC 3077 (bottom right). All of them are millions of light-years from Earth. The nebula between the galaxies is called an Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) - it all lies beyond the main body of our own galaxy, but it’s illuminated by all the stars in the Milky Way. Captured by amateur astronomer Chuck Ayoub.
