BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Astronomers capture galactic dance: "Astronomers have released a stunning image taken by the Gemini Observatory of a cluster of interacting galaxies some 300 million light-years away.
The galaxies are members of a famous group called Stephan's Quintet. Their shapes are distorted by gravitational interactions that scatter arches of gas and dust through space.
Another result of this interaction is a prolific fireworks display of star formation, which is fuelled by clouds of hydrogen that have been forced into clumps to form stellar nurseries."
That's some pretty cool shit. Again, I wish I was in outer space.
