SpaceShots: The Best New Photos of Our Universe! 74 great pics!

I saw this in Fox News Science section. The photos are just amazing. Enjoy.

March 3: A composite image of NGC 1068, one of the nearest and brightest galaxies containing a rapidly growing supermassive black hole. The X-ray images from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory's Spectrometer show that a strong wind is being driven away from the center of NGC 1068 at a rate of about a million miles per hour.

It is like two galaxies colliding or something, or rather the aftermath of it.

I have spent the last 30minutes looking at the countless intricacies and details of that photo, and I must say that I am astounded by the complexity and vastness of the event.

Thank you for the link to the slideshow with these new photos. That one photo of the galactic cataclysm is simply breathtaking.

slide 29 is pretty interesting.

The cold hard facts of the discovery of the frosty mixture on one of the asteroid belt's largest occupants suggests that some asteroids, along with their celestial brethren, comets, were the water carriers for a primordial Earth

Ring of Fire

The twisting motion of the material is the most noticeable feature.

in case you missed it file! I know it is a lot
pic but well worth the time.
