Continue doing this until you have all the beads you need for your pattern. This will be the ladder stich creating the foundation row for the brick stitch. Pick up one bead then pass the needle under the thread between the first two beads on the foundation row. Pull the thread and bring the bead up into place.
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a large disk-shaped barred-spiral galaxy about 30 kiloparsecs in diameter and a kiloparsec thick. It contains about two hundred billion (2Ã1011) stars and has a total mass of about six hundred billion (6Ã1011) times the mass of the Sun.
The galaxy MACS0647-JD (inset) appears very young and is only a fraction of the size of our own Milky Way. The galaxy is about 13.3 billion light-years from Earth, the farthest galaxy yet known, and formed 420 million years after the Big Bang.
