Hubblecast 31: Sky merger yields sparkling dividends

A recent NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures what appears to be one very bright and bizarre galaxy, but is actually the result of a pair of spiral galaxies, like our own Milky Way, smashing together at incredible speeds. This object was a target of Hubble's and a handful of its "sibling" spacecraft as part of a massive comprehensive sky survey called GOALS.

Yes....T_T *sniff* Poor Hubble. Too bad it can't last forever, or we could bring it back...but sadly to do that we'd need s shuttle (at least) and those are being decommissioned soon. l don't get personally, but l'm sure it has to do with money more than anything.

l'd just like to thank you for uploading these vids! l've been watching them for a couple years now and l'm just very grateful that you take your time to do this. Thank you! *Hug* Hubble's the best! Long live Hubble! ^^;;; lt's simply amazing what humans can do when we put aside our differences and work together.
