The Smilie Galaxy?

Antennae Galaxies smilie

The emphasis in this newly released image of the Antennae Galaxies is mine, of course – anyway it’s nice to see an entire galaxy smile. :)

Just wondering what the New-Agey woo-woos may think about that – face of god? Manifestation of galactic love? Kryon’s wife? A guardian for the synchronization beam? …?

entire image ← The original image is a composite of images from Chandra (X-ray, shown in blue), Hubble (gold and brown), and Spitzer (infrared, shown as red) and is taken from HubbleSite which also has more info and higher resoluion images.
