The Hubble must be God's gift to astronomy PhD students! Fascinating! I read the link to check on the perspective question; the four yellow ones are interacting, the big blue one is not.

Yes. I think I remember that there is a replacement (bigger, better) in the works....assuming funding of course.

Another interesting note is that a spiral galaxy loses it's spiral in a "collision."

The "tidal tail" on the left middle is interesting. I guess these are not really colliding but gravitationally interacting...

Just think how amazing it is that Jesus only made life on our planet.

You'll probably get banned. Religosity is not allowed out here in the open.

Aren't you gonna be surprised when Hubble takes a pic of god!

People dont need religion to be preachy kenny.
