One of the big mysteries in astronomy is how galaxies grow and evolve over time. Collisions between galaxies are thought to be key events that shape their development. A stunning collection of 59 new images of colliding galaxies has been released to mark the 18th ann

NASA Releases Largest Collection of Hubble Images
In celebration of the 18th anniversary of Hubble’s launch, NASA released a series of 59 new images of colliding galaxies. Astronomy textbooks typically present galaxies as staid, solitary, and majestic island worlds of glittering stars.
But galaxies have a wild side. They have flirtatious close encounters that sometimes end in grand mergers
Hello everyone.
Most of us are familiarized to Google earth & used it quite a bit.Last year in the month of August Google released a special version of Google Earth.It had a feature named Google...

Last night I was hanging out with Rich from Kill Ugly Radio and Daniel Flessas during Daniel's KBOO radio show, "The Outside World", when I came to the realization that I need to start doing podcasts on Eclectic Grooves. Around three a.m., I dragged myself home in that state somewhere between the realm of awareness and sleep. When I arrived at the apartment, I compiled this mix that I am featuring today. This mix features a wide variety of styles that seem to coalesce into a psychedelic space-rock contingent. Even though this is not a podcast, I plan on featuring podcasts here in the near future. I hope you enjoy the mix, and would love to hear what you guys think. Night Trippers From Distant Galaxies1) D. Charles Speer & the Helix- Sit Right There- 4:182) Boredoms- Relerer- 7:093) Su
These two mighty galaxies are pulling each other apart. Known as " The Mice" because they have such long tails, each spiral galaxy has likely already passed through the other. They will probably collide again and again until they coalesce.read more | digg story
In my perambulations around the Web the other day I discovered a very geeky site, that I have since used quite a bit, called Galaxy Zoo.
Astronomers have taken over a million pictures of galaxies in space - and now they need to categorise them. Currently, the only way that we can categorise galaxies is by having a person look at a picture of a galaxy and then decide whether it’s an elliptical or spiral shape. It turns out that computers can’t really do this job very well at all, so what a group of astronomers have done is provide the Galaxy Zoo website, where anybody can categorise galaxies after a quick ten minute tutorial.
The thing about pictures of galaxies is that some of them are quite spectacular; hence the site can be quite addictive. It’s very cool to be part of a real astronomy science project too.

There are certain rules game companies need to follow when promoting their product. The first of which is when you happen to use a song by a band that has as big of a following in the video game world as They Might be Giants, make sure you do it right.No excuses.With that said, I am pleasantly surprised with the latest Geometry Wars Galaxies promo that was posted on Gametrailers and Eurogamer (and subsequently around 900 different websites across the internet). Though I have to say that it's hard to get past the fact that I'm not listening to the original rendition of what happens to Triangle man; the style, look, and feel of the commercial reminds me a lot (in a good way) of some of the classic Atari arcade commercials of yesteryear.If there was ever a game that could make Particle Man work... Geometry Wars is it.
By Josie LeeOnce you begin SWG (assuming you've completed the character creation) you will start in a city known as Mos Eisley. You should explore and familiarize yourself because you will be spending the next few hours or days there. If you should decide to just run out and start killing here's a small note to memorize. Grey mobs are not worth killing, green is easy, blue is decent, yellow is ideal, red is hard, purple is almost impossible to kill alone.Ideally you should pick up some missions. There are small terminals in which you can get the missions. You can choose between destroy or delivery missions. Characters with good combat skills should choose destroy missions while those not focused in combat should choose delivery. Keep in mind, the larger the reward of the mission the more difficult it may be. Once you've accepted a mission a way point will guide you on where to go.There are also imperial missiona and rebel alliance missions. They are shaped a bit differently and have
Galaxies and How to Observe Them (Astronomers' Observing Guides)Springer| ISBN 1852337524 | 2006-12-12 | PDF | 246 pages | 6.68 MBGalaxies are perhaps the most popular of all visual targets that are sought after by visual observers. At present the only way to get up-to-date information, is to query various (often highly technical) speciality books or digging deeply into the Internet. This can be a time consuming and often frustrating task, as the data aren’t often compatible. This book satisfies the need for a modern, comprehensive review in combining the three major aspects: the physical background on the nature and data of galaxies, the relevant instrumentation and viewing techniques, and finally the targets and their individual appearance in telescopes of various apertures. To illustrate the latter, a comprehensive sample of galaxies, including quasars, groups and clusters of galaxies is presented. This combination of theoretical knowledge and practical information guarantees suc
Geometry Wars: Galaxies on DS and Wii returns the series to the big (and small) screens with Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved included as a bonus! Bizarre Creations hands its Geometry Wars franchise to developer Kuju, the team behind Battalion Wars. The game takes everything that made Retro Evolved the best multi-direction shooter around, and besides adding a new campaign, adds multiplayer modes. But there’s more than just an enlarged single-player experience, the four other game modes are: Co-op, Simultaneous, Versus, and Hot Seat. The developer showed off the first gameplay footage of the game in action (watch it below) in a 1UP preview.
In the interview Sierra producer, Roger Carpenter, explains: “The principle is very simple. The Galaxy is full of solar systems. The solar systems have lots of planets within them, and each one of those is a battlefield. You’ve got to do battle with each planet’s inhabitants… all in a Geometry Wars style, of course. Each of
