The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground- and space-based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster's gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years.

I cannot understand why this video was votebotted, but I threw in my 5-star rating for what it's worth.

[Mankepanke]

Seems like this video got votebotted since they mentioned "Galaxy evolution" in it. It's a shame.

[icarosilva16]

God loves the truth(if exist)then,thumb up,and,to be serious,congtatulations,the video is really well done.Poor creationists...so out of time....

[Direness]

Seriously, vote botting is so pathetic. Why so desperate, kiddos? Oh yeah, wouldn't want any of that nasty "truth" stuff getting out, do we?

[goodvibrato]

Christians using an underhanded tactic like votebots??? Nah!!!!!! I just can't believe it....oh wait yes I can.

[pupsenok]

The creationist votebots merely seek out words in the description such as "evolution" and "evolve". This video contains the description: "spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve" and was automaticaly hit by votebots.

[Vennificus]

XD "creationist votebots"

It sounds like it's said with the same emphasis as "Communists!" used to be.

[sswelm]

Why is this video vote botted? Does a galaxy ripped appart by a galaxy cluster not fit with a perfectly for humans created universe?

[atuvelman]

what's with all the extreme closeups on that guy's face?

[zendarx2]

I would have missed out on a good laugh! Its just that you made it so clear,oh well no harm no foul.

[Relloq]

Yeah, that would surely have ruined the fun. Good thing you didn't!

[zendarx2]

Yes major irony, the wink is a clue that you were joking. Guess I should have added an obvious clue such as a wink but that's tanking all the fun out of it.
