Who wants to play 'count the stars'? The galaxy UGC 8201, captured here by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is a dwarf irregular galaxy, so called because of its small size and chaotic structure. It lies just under 15 million light-years away from us in the constellation of Draco (the Dragon). As with most dwarf galaxies it is a member of a larger group of galaxies. In this case UCG 8201 is part of the M81 galaxy group; this group is one of the closest neighbors to the Local Group of galaxies, which contains our galaxy, the Milky Way. #Hubble #NASA #ESA #galaxy #deepspace #starfield #milkyway #starstuff #spacephotography #picoftheday #suggesteduser #sundayfunday
