1 of 4: The BARRED SPIRAL GALAXY NGC 1300 spans over 150,000 light-years across the galaxy center. The picturesque galaxy lies about 75 MILLION light-years distant, so that light that we NOW see left DURING the age of the DINOSAURS. / http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap001004.html

2 of 4: The SPIRAL GALAXY M100 is a large spiral galaxy similar to our own MILKY WAY, containing over 100 billion stars. It is over 150 MILLION light-years away, so the light we see left when DINOSAURS roamed the Earth. / http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950626.html

3 of 4: The GALACTIC RING of NGC 6782 blossoms into a spectacular and complex structure highlighted by a circumnuclear ring. Light we see TODAY from NGC 6782 left about 180 MILLION years ago, while DINOSAURS roamed the Earth. The galaxy spans about 80,000 light-years across. / http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap011121.html

4 of 4: ELLIPTICAL GALAXY NGC 1132 appears as a large, isolated galaxy

toward the Constellation of the River (Eridanus).

NGC 1132 is over 300 MILLION light-years away, so the light we see from

it today left BEFORE DINOSAURS roamed the Earth. /
