Be more openminded this year. Traverse the expenses of conciousness that you may not have even known existed. Smoke dmt, eat some mushrooms, take some lsd. You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. #dmt#stickerporn#stickerart#photographer#instagraffiti#stickertrade#drawing#streetart#graffiti#psychedelicart#nasa#popsurrealism#graffitiporn#illustrator#art#instaart#artwork#artistsoninstagram#drugs#sharpieart#bestoftheday#photooftheday#tattoo#lastnight#makeup#openminded by shrekg1

This image, taken with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on board the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the galaxy NGC 6052, located around 230 million light-years away in the constellation of Hercules.

It would be reasonable to think of this as a single abnormal galaxy, and it was originally classified as such. However, it is in fact a “new” galaxy in the process of forming. Two separate galaxies have been gradually drawn together, attracted by gravity, and have collided. We now see them merging into a single structure.

As the merging process continues, individual stars are thrown out of their original orbits and placed onto entirely new paths, some very distant from the region of the collision itself. Since the stars produce the light we see, the “galaxy” now appears to have a highly chaotic shape. Eventually, this new galaxy will settle down into a stable shape, which may not resemble either of the two original galaxies.
