A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.
Three large galaxies are shown, the rightmost two in collision. The galaxy on the far right is a large spiral galaxy with one arm connected to an unusual polar galaxy on the left. The smaller galaxy on the far left is thought to be far in the background.
