Image and story of a pair of colliding galaxies called NGC 6240 shows them in a
rare, short-lived phase of their evolution just before they merge into a

For a out dated telescope, Hubble still takes some damn good pictures.

Sounds interesting...Go on.

I love this stuff.  And, it's "found art," to boot.
