Pan: When one plus one (eventually) equals one
This Hubble Picture of the Week features Arp 122, a peculiar galaxy that in fact comprises two galaxies - NGC 6040, the tilted, warped spiral galaxy and LEDA 59642, the round, face-on spiral - that are in the midst of a collision. This dramatic cosmic encounter is located at the very safe distance of roughly 570 million light-years from Earth. Peeking in at the corner is the elliptical galaxy NGC 6041, a central member of the galaxy cluster that Arp 122 resides in, but otherwise not participating in this monster merger.

Amazing view...😮
And now continue believing 🌏 is the only one
What I like to think about most when I see images like this are the possibilities, the worlds never discovered before, full of life and history,Civilizations like ours are advanced and have their own unique culture, lush landscapes that no human being would be able to describe with words, or even nothingness, desert worlds or even Extremes, as well as our neighborhood in the solar system. We will leave this world and we will not be able to know a fraction of what we could experience.
Cool 👍.I understand that it looks very good and beautiful, but these are just selected and assembled photographs taken by an astronomical space probe. The music is beautiful, and it felt like I was flying myself in this starry space 😄, but it’s a pity that the video is short.
Класс, 👍 не плохо 😁. Я понимаю что выглядит очень хорошо и красиво, но это всего лишь выбранные и скоплектованые фотосъёмки снятые астрономическим космическим зондом. Музыка красивая, и ощущение было что я летел сам в этом звёздном пространстве 😄, но жаль то что короткое видео.
