“To make this journey, we’ll need imagination, but imagination alone is not enough, because the reality of nature is far more wondrous than anything we can imagine.”
These are just a few of the beautiful visual effects from Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey
Top 10 Bizarre Galaxy Pairs From Hubble
“The Arp catalog illustrates galaxies in many different stages of a collision:
* prior to their first close pass, * in the collision process, * subsequent to an interaction but before merging, * and in the final merger stages.
Unlike ellipticals, spirals are easily disturbed, often becoming destroyed entirely by such an interaction.”
When you take a glimpse into the deep Universe, beyond the gas, dust, stars and planets of our own galaxy, you enter the realm of the galaxies. In general, they come in two types: the spirals, with neat, orderly arms, and the ellipticals, with a symmetric, bulging shape. But for everything that exists in the Universe a particular way in general, there are exceptions. In the 1960s, astronomer Halton Arp became fascinated with these exceptions, creating a catalog of 338 examples: the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. We now know that most of these are galaxy pairs or triplets in the process of major mergers, displaying features such as tidal disruption, stellar bridges, starbursts and occasionally a rare, ring shape.

Love that impulse deck. I would love the whole design so much more if the saucer were a complete circle.

You may have seen images of these cars circulate on tumblr before, but do you know the story behind them? The UFO Response Team is a privately owned organization that is currently based in Portland, Denver, Washington, and California. Their main goal is to collect information from individuals who may have had an encounter with any unidentified flying objects to prove that the existence of them are real. There is not many information on the internet about this bizarre team, except for their incredibly outdated and vague blogspot.

Bright Galaxy Centaurus A
Centaurus A is the fifth brightest galaxy in the sky — making it an ideal target for amateur astronomers — and is famous for the dust lane across its middle and a giant jet blasting away from the supermassive black hole at its center. Cen A is an active galaxy about 12 million light years from Earth.
This image is part of a “quartet of galaxies” collaboration of professional and amateur astronomers that combines optical data from amateur telescopes with data from the archives of NASA missions. NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages the Chandra program for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass., controls Chandra’s science and flight operations.
