[Dave Kendall]

Thought this link might be of interest to some people. These look beautiful, but I just can't imagine what it looks like at ground zero.

"Makes you feel so sort of insignificant, doesn't it?"

"Yeah yeah... Can we have your liver, then?"

with all that goes on in are galaxy, how can there not be life on those galaxies?

It's one of my favourite sites on the web, man. Talk about inspiring.

Rather cool, hmmm... what if it happened to us? 8D

See? This is why I don't drive ANYTHING! They'll probably blame it on me anyway...

Stupid Galaxy attention seeking bastards!

You guys do know that there is another galaxy heading right for us right at 150,000 miles per hour!!!!..........................




It will be here in a couple billion years or so...

Dude, in the middle of our galaxy, there is a hueg black hole.

Those images are fantastic!

So I guess if you were outside the milky way, you wouldn't be looking out at a starry filled sky, you'd be looking out at a galaxy filled sky. That must be quite a sight.

I've been watching this series on History channel. Some great stuff. Apparently there already ARE 2 other small galaxies colliding with the milky way right now.

So pretty! I wonder what happens when the two supermassive black holes at the center of the galaxies meet....
