What do you think? This entire galaxy NGC7331 is devoid of life? Only life here on Earth, period? This is one of my favorite galaxies, it's got it all -- Nice spiral arms, an exciting core, and a nice lane of dust right across it's face. This is about 2 hours of exposure from the back yard observatory.

In addition to meat, I'll bet NGC7331 has a fine selection of vegetables.
I've added a couple more hours to NGC7331 since this as well:
