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...

  That link's an absolute spellbinder, ET.
  Just mind-blowing images of what the Hubble is "seeing". Other amazing images include the "Pistol Star" -- emitting as much energy in seconds as the earth's sun does in one year.
