Beauty From Chaos
Appearing within the boundless darkness of space, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopevïs snapshot of NGC 34 looks more like an otherworldly, bioluminescent creature from the deep oceans than a galaxy. Lying in the constellation Cetus (The Sea Monster), the galaxyvïs outer region appears almost translucent, pinpricked with stars and strange wispy tendrils. The main cause for this galaxyvïs odd appearance lies in its past. If we were able to reverse time by a few million years, we would see two beautiful spiral galaxies on a direct collision course. When these galaxies collided into one another, their intricate patterns and spiral arms were permanently disturbed. This image shows the galaxy's bright centre, a result of this merging event that has created a burst of new star formation and lit up the surrounding gas. As the galaxies continue to intertwine and become one, NGC 34vïs shape will become more like that of an peculiar galaxy, devoid of any distinct shape.vä In the vastness of space, collisions between galaxies are quite rare events, but they can be numerous in mega-clusters containing hundreds or even thousands of galaxies.

Milky Way From The Mountains In Greece
The Milky Way, part of the galaxy with illuminating stars, appears in the night sky over Drakolimni Lake, also known as Dragon Lake, of Tymfi Mountain near Astraka at an altitude of 2050 meters above sea level on the mountain range of Timfi, in Vikos Aoos National Park. Hikers in tents and the reflection of the night sky on the water surface are visible in northwestern Greece in the Pindus mountain range at the Epirus region.

Dozens starstruck at Northumberland dark skies mass trespass.
Participants view Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy as campaigners bemoan restrictions on right to roam.
"Welcome to the night," beamed a right to roam campaigner welcoming a coach load of city dwellers to the pitch dark stillness of remote Northumberland countryside on a chilly September evening.
The passengers had been attracted by a secretive offer spread on Instagram and by old-school posters pinned up in Newcastle.
About 70 signed up. On Thursday, they arrived at about 8.15pm on land owned by the Duke of Northumberland near Rothbury. Off the bus, they were guided up to Lordenshaws iron age hill fort, where, if it had been light, they would have properly seen some of the UK's most abundant and wonderful neolithic rock art.

Cosmologist Laura Mersini-Houghton: 'Our universe is one tiny grain of dust in a beautiful cosmos'
'Cosmology has all the most fascinating questions that I'd been daydreaming about since I was a child': Laura Mersini-Houghton in Cambridge.
As her new book on the origins of the universe is published, the Albanian-American scientist explains how her work on multiverse theory influenced Stephen Hawking, and how totalitarian rule shaped her hunger for knowledge
Laura Mersini-Houghton, Physicist, photographed in Cambridge ahead of the publication of her new book "Before the Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe and What Lies Beyond". Laura Mersini-Houghton is an Albanian-American cosmologist and theoretical physicist, and professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is a proponent of the multiverse hypothesis and the author of a theory for the origin of the universe that holds that our universe is one of many selected by quantum gravitational dynamics of matter and energy. Predictions of her theory have been successfully tested by astrophysical data. She argues that anomalies in the current structure of the universe are best explained as the gravitational tug exerted by other universes.
