            Great stuff, especially the Cartwheel Galaxy where it was hit by another galaxy. Guess the celestial traffic light didn't work!

            Thanks, pyderi

                  Fantastic images. What a universe. We know so little of its wonders.

                  If you missed today's pictures the Hubble grabbed of two galaxies colliding, here's a link. http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releas...

                  Looks spectacular when viewed from here. Thanks be it isn't happening in our own neighborhood at this particular time.
