Andrew McCarthy galaxy-cluster image with stars digitally removed

March 24, 2026Andrew McCarthy

Andrew McCarthy shares a galaxy cluster image with foreground stars removed to emphasize intergalactic space, underscoring that every object in-frame is a separate galaxy with “trillions of planets.”

My telescope in Texas is currently pointed at this: A galaxy cluster.
I digitally removed the relatively few stars to give you a look at intergalactic space.
Every object in this photo is another galaxy, containing trillions of planets.
