APOD 4.5

YET ANOTHER APOD! Todays APOD is from April 21st and is simply beautiful
This is an image of a super massive galaxy that is actually pretty close to us called Spiral Galaxy NGC 2841. Located 46 million light years away in the Ursa Major constellation, this is one of the largest objects known to mankind. This monster has a diameter of over 150,000 light years and is also known as the island universe. Taken by the Hubble, we can clearly see beautiful colors and lights throughout this amazing photo.
