My wish to all of you is to enjoy StumbleUpon as much as I have. I hope they work out all the bugs in v4 and provide you with the tools required to make it as good as v3 or even better. Those of you that have been so kind as to share not only your stumbles but your personal lives with me, I appreciated your trust and friendship and wish all the best to you. Maybe in the future I will check back in and see how things are, but for now it's time to venture into a life outside of this great site. I'll keep my site open until after the first of the year before I decide to delete it entirely. Many of my friends have messaged me saying I might just need a break in lieu of leaving all together so I will see if that works..:)
Please remember the Veterans who have given their all in the past, bless and support the troops now serving and pray for their safe return.
Thank you again - CHEERS

NGC 2623: Galaxy Merger from Hubble
Credit: NASA, ESA and A. Evans (Stony Brook) et al.

Explanation: Where do stars form when galaxies collide? To help find out, astronomers imaged the nearby galaxy merger NGC 2623 in high resolution with the Hubble Space Telescope in 2007. Analysis of this Hubble image and images of NGC 2623 in infrared light by the Spitzer Space Telescope, in X-ray light by XMM-Newton, and in ultraviolet light by GALEX, indicate that two originally spiral galaxies appear now to be greatly convolved and that their cores have unified into one active galactic nucleus (AGN). Star formation continues around this core near the above image center, along the stretched out tidal tails visible on either side, and perhaps surprisingly, in an off-nuclear region on the upper left where clusters of bright blue stars appear. Galaxy collision
can take hundreds of millions of years and take several gravitationally destructive passes. NGC 2623, also known as Arp 243, spans about 50,000 light years and lies about 250 million light years away toward the constellation of the Crab (Cancer). Reconstructing the original galaxies and how galaxy mergers happen is often challenging, sometimes impossible, but generally important to understanding how our universe evolved.

2012: Six End-of-the-World Myths Debunked

A city slides into the sea in a scene from the movie 2012, to be released November 13, 2009. The movie's end-of-the-world plot is based on largely discredited prophecies dubiously attributed to the ancient Maya, experts say.
Fortunately, with the help of scientists like Morrison, most of the predicted 2012 cataclysms are easily explained away.
