Default Latest pictures from Hubble, Simply Amazing

Surfing the web and this article from MSN had some of the Hubble telescopes latest pictures. Thought I would post some of them. There were 32 in total, there are about 10 posted. Find it intriguing to know there are explosions and collisions of galaxies going on while we live and die in about 70 years, these things are light years across. Our galaxy is on a collision course too with another larger galaxy.

The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a predicted galaxy collision that will take place in approximately 4 billion years' time between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group—the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way, which contains the Solar System and Earth.[1][

When put in perspective, I find it scary... How minuscule we truly are.


But they are pretty to look at.

Hi `Greg,
Thank You for your time/post & sharing these beautiful
pictures of `space (It's never ending) or is it ?

I love `space & wish that everyone could love & enjoy
their own space. The creator of `all sure paints
some beautiful pictures in the skies/heavens above us.

When I look into the night skies , I wonder where or
`if it ever `Ends ?, or Never `Ends ?

I wish everyone their own Happy `Space
EnJoy your `Space 4-Sure

Wow! Spectacular pictures. Thanks for posting them Greg.

That's a black hole? I just figured it was the dark side of a planet or large asteroid. That's cool though.
