# Galaxy live wallpapers for Mac

Galaxy live wallpapers for Mac: animated nebulae, star fields, the Milky Way, and cosmic clouds in 4K. Deep-space motion for your Mac desktop.

Slow-turning nebulae, star fields drifting past, the Milky Way over a quiet horizon. Galaxy loops are mostly black with points of light, which makes them among the most battery-friendly and readable wallpapers in the catalog.
