a small galaxy about 160 000 light-years from Earth

NGC 3627 is a beautiful spiral with a well-developed central bulge

The image inspired the title of scientist Carl Sagan's book, "Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space," in which he wrote: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us."
