A friend forwarded me the top ten Hubble telescope photos--this was around number seven or so. I thought it was the most beautiful of all. It looks like some kind of fantasy painting or the VHS cover to 80's box-office hit 'Legend.' According to the email-forward, this is what is pictured:
The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant Canis Major constellation.

Wrong caption! That one is the
Trifid Nebula. "A 'stellar nursery', 9,000 light years from here,
it is where new stars are being born." And I agree with you - it totally looks like evil Tim Curry ravaging something innocent in a tangle of silk sheets.
Stellar Nursery, galaxies colliding...Tomato-Tomahto.
