APOD: 2008 November 27 - Galaxies in the River (8)
on
Astronomy Picture of the Day RSS Feed (1) permalink
Galaxies in the River Large galaxies grow by eating small ones. Even our own galaxy practices galactic cannibalism, absorbing small galaxies that get too close and are captured by the Milky Way's gravity. In fact, the practice is common in the universe and well illustrated by this striking pair of interacting galaxies from the banks of the southern constellation Eridanus (The River). Located over 50 million light years away, the large, distorted spiral NGC 1532 ...Shared by Alix (0) Atuuschaaw (25) Bassoon (0) Daniel Wayne Armstrong (0) easterlingman (3) kris7topher (0) Nishith (16) Saarikorpi (5)Contribute comment -

Sex, Love & Money in China (1)
onAnyone who knows anything about Shenzhen knows that it is the "wild wild west" of Chinese capitalism. Although some would argue Shanghai or Hong Kong as the major financial centers, Shenzhen is the real place where all the most able and capable entrepreneurs go. Maybe in 10-20 years, Shenzhen will develop into a international city, it is still currently a culture-less metropolis with a specific focus on money and everything money related.I like describing Shenzhen ...Shared by Daniel Wayne Armstrong (0)Contribute comment
