Three Draco Galaxies

These three galaxies are located in the constellation Draco, and lie approximately 100 million lightyears from earth. It is interesting to note the differences in the types of galaxies shown, as the galaxy on the far right is a front on spiral galaxy, while the one to its' left is more nebulous. It is fascinating to think of how far away thise galaxies are, and yet how clearly we can see them.
