One of my favorites is this very cool galaxy, with a view of another similar galaxy through it!

Thanks photon, that was awesome.

There's a theist vs atheist debate going on in the comments of the article. How appropriate.

Glad Carl Sagan isn't around to read stuff like that nonsense by the comments section.

Decided to read Demon Haunted world again over the holidays, boy I wish they made that standard reading requirement in all schools.

Thanks for the post Photon, its easily my favorite subject.

Eh, pho... One of the reasons I like the thanks feature is because people can drop a thanks on a thread like this without having to post something arbitrary. I'm sure that besides me, alot of other people love it when you post these threads, so keep 'em coming.

unbelievable.

especially astonishing to me is that last photo and the description with it. All those galaxies lie within 1 millimeter when we look up into space. That is truly amazing.
