I don’t know if anyone saw this picture published in Time Magazine in 1992, but it’s a picture taken from the Hubble Telescope.
The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as M51, is about 30 million light years away from Earth. The distance across it is about 27 kiloparsecs (or 90,000 light years).

Ted Worden, a doorman at the Tower Lofts complex, heard loud noises coming from the victim’s loft. Concerned for tenants’ safety, he entered the loft and found [...]
