Take a look at this incredible shot from space–the merger of two separate galaxies into one.

A little more from the steadily growing Hubble telescope collection shows the galaxy known as NGC 2623, which is a pair of colliding galaxies two hundred and fifty million light years away from us.

The galaxies have already merged at their center cores, but the gas and dust that trail behind them is still falling into place, and at the same time, giving birth to thousands of stars.  It’s downright amazing, just to look at that, what all is going on in our own metaphorical backyard.  Stars are being born and dying, galaxies are colliding, planets are forming…

…kind of makes our own problems seem a little less important, doesn’t it?
