IN a galaxy far, far away, this collection of stunning interstellar formations will leave you STARSTRUCK. Located millions of light years away from Earth, the patterns burst with colour but are unable to be seen clearly with the naked eye. Photographer Terry Hancock captured the images using a specialist astronomy camera attached to a telescope, from the comfort of his own back garden in Fremont, Michigan, USA. The 61-year-old sales manager, originally from Burnley, Lancashire, says: “My pictures are all long exposures of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters, which range in distance from thousands to many millions of light years away from Earth.
