Antennae Gallaxies
ハッブル宇宙望遠鏡から二つの銀河系が衝突しているところの鮮明な画像が送られてきた。
この衝突はすでに数十億年前から始まっていて、その過程の中でまた新たに幾千もの星が生まれているそうだ。
自分の尺度ではどうにも実感できる規模ではないのだが、なぜこんなにも美しいのだろう。
The most recent photograph that Hubble Space Telescope has sent us was this sharp image of two galaxies colliding to each other. They estimate this collision had started a few hundred million years ago, and still generating thousands of new stars in the process.
In terms of the scale of time and space, it's far beyond the comprehensible range of my senses. But it sure looks beautiful.
