- Astronomer Phil Plait has compiled an interesting collection of some of the best astronomy images of 2007. I agree with 4dee, the interacting galaxies photo is amazing. I like to stare at an image such as this and imagine the slow dance of gravity at play. It's fun to contemplate how, with the vast empty spaces between stars, it is possible for two galaxies to pass right through each other.

- This must be the coolest "Top ten of 2007" collections so far. The astronomy pictures are beautiful and the commentary is well written and easy to understand. Since I'm quite interested in the interaction between galaxies, I picked this one as an example:
This picture shows Arp 87. It's the name given to the system of two galaxies, NGC 3808A and NGC 3808B. The system is 300 million light years away from us. Yes, that's quite a lot.
The galaxies passed each other 200 million years ago, just as the age of dinosaurs was starting to get going on Earth. The gravity of B (the cigar-shaped galaxy on the left) drew out a long tentacle from the much larger A (the spiral on the right), and it appears as if the passage also wrapped the tendril around B, perhaps more than once. In the picture, we can see reddish gas clouds collapsing to form stars in the galaxies. Will the two galaxies continue to separate, or will gravity eventually win, drawing them together? - This must be the coolest "Top ten of 2007" collections so far.
