“Standing on a pier in Wisconsin, I frequently find myself surrounded by thousands of bluegill patiently waiting for my fly to hit the water. Each one caught is different than the last. Taking a much closer look, I discover what looks to be small galaxies in their cheeks. Then I get to thinking: What if that’s where our galaxy is and we’re all just living on the cheek of a bluegill?” Photo: Justin Carfagnini
