This image was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. It displays the aftermath of the collision of two galaxies. A phenomenon so cataclysmic to us, but so infinitely small in comparison to the vast expanse of space. What we can see here, is the various bits and pieces, shattered suns, fragmented planets and everything else that creates a galaxy, being flung out into inter stellar space.
And did you know, that in approximately 3 to 5 billion years, our very own Milky Way, will be colliding with our neighbouring galaxy Andromeda.
I only wish I could see the sky as all the planets and stars of Andromeda come racing towards us. It will be the ultimate festival of light.
