Galaxy Dream

In the infinity of space, there is an uncountable number of galaxies. They are unimaginably far away and exist in many shapes and sizes. They are formed by dust, gas, planets and millions of stars, always expanding until they cease to exist. The nearest galaxy to the Milky Way is more that 2.5 million light years away.

This means there is a multitude of galaxies, stars and plannets that keep us dreaming and hoping about finding and reaching them someday. My postcard is inspired by this feeling of hope and peace that I get when I look up at the night sky and at pictures of galaxies.

This model represents an expanding galaxy. It’s a modular build and it’s possible to add more stars, planets, commets or other celestial bodies that we like or dream about reaching.

The commets and the center of the galaxy (that is its brightest part, because it’s full of stars) are made with glow in the dark parts, so this galaxy can always shine and guide our dreams.
