That is one awesome photo. It’s especially awesome when you consider the almost unimaginable sizes and distances represented in the entire field of view.

Please excuse my ignorance, but here’s my question. If the universe started from a single point (Big Bang), and all matter is moving away from this central point, how is it possible for two galaxies to collide?

Let’s hope the coming Hubble mission is a complete success.
Anybody know what Telescope is in the works that is going to replace the capabilities of this one?
(Meaning the one with the pretty pictures)
