Reading these excellent thoughts almost made me forget that everything we're sensing from NGC 6240 happened 400 million years ago. Maybe the merger actually happened by now. As with all mergers, I'm sure there are disgruntled customers.

Re: NGC 6240: Merging Galaxies (2009 June 18)
Nice info on the center of NGC 6240.

This is awesome stuff! I know I'm a little behind, but I just finished Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" and now I've started on "The Universe in a Nutshell". I highly recommend them, especially for non-scientists like me. He is the man!!! I hope he is recuperating! Brett Walte...

Does anybody know if gamma ray bursts come from any particular direction -or- if you tried to plot them on a star chart, would they be fairly randomly distributed? I tried to look this up, but could only find the coordinates of 2 of them.
