The image shows thousands of galaxies across the black expanse of space. The closest thousand or so galaxies appear as small disks of spiraling material, surrounded by halos of yellow and white light. The background is scattered with a hundred thousand more distant galaxies of different shapes, ranging in color from white to yellow to red. Most galaxies are so far away they appear as single points of light.

Looking in from the outer edge of a dusty, spinning disk surrounding a bright central star, which is illustrated as an indistinct bright region in the center of the disk. Rays of light emanate from the central area. A dark gap in the disk appears between the bright core and the dusty, hazy outer regions, which build up slightly as you move outward, so that the core appears sunken. The outer disk has some bands of varying thickness, in varying shades of orange.
