Photo Release - heic0906: Hubble celebrates 19th anniversary with fountain of youth
http://www.spacetelescope.org/news/html/heic0906.html
21-Apr-2009: To commemorate the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's 19 years of success, the orbiting telescope has photographed a peculiar system of galaxies known as Arp 194. This interacting group contains several galaxies along with a "cosmic fountain" of stars, gas and dust that stretches over 100 000 light years.

Whats the question mark?????????
The image is a prime example of one galaxy loosing clusters of stars to another and possible the formation of dwarf galaxies that maybe become saterlites.
I posted this topic elsewhere and it was moved here.
Thats OK.

I can't speak for Art, but I interpreted his question mark as a reference to the birthday being Apr. 21st, 2009 and your post coming on Aug. 18th, 2009.
What day is it in your universe, Harry?

Mate I just copy paste the link.
I thought it was interesting.
Mate I have a time machine, so time has no relevance.
Smile, read the link again and come back to me.

Well you had to hit
me over the head with it. The galaxies in the picture form a question mark. I went to the linked page several times, and still needed to be sent back again before I saw it. A cryptic comment from Art is usually more verbose.
