Zoom Into the Immense Spiral Galaxy UGC 2885 With Over 1 Trillion Stars

This video is an animated zoom into the location of the immense spiral galaxy UGC 2885. We begin with a view of the autumn northern constellation Perseus. We look across 232 million light-years of space to see the full expanse of the galaxy, which is over two times the width of our Milky Way galaxy and contains at least 1 trillion stars.
