A spectacular trio of merging galaxies in the constellation Boötes takes centre stage in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. These three galaxies are set on a collision course and will eventually merge into a single larger galaxy, distorting one another’s spiral structure through mutual gravitational interaction in the process. An unrelated foreground galaxy appears to float serenely alongside the collision, and the smudged shapes of much more distant galaxies are visible in the background.
This colliding trio — known to astronomers as SDSSCGB 10189 — is a relatively rare combination of three large star-forming galaxies lying within only 50 000 light-years of one another. While that might sound like a safe distance, for galaxies this makes them extremely close neighbours! Our own galactic neighbours are much further away; Andromeda, the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way, is more than 2.5 million light-years away from Earth.
This observation was designed to help astronomers understand the origin of the largest, most massive galaxies in the universe. These galactic behemoths are called Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and — as the name suggests — are defined as the brightest galaxies in any given galaxy cluster. Astronomers suspect that BCGs form through the merger of large, gas-rich galaxies like the ones in this image. They turned to Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys to investigate this galactic trio in painstaking detail, hoping to shed light on the formation of the Universe’s most massive galaxies.
[Image description: Three galaxies stand together just right of centre. They are close enough that they appear to be merging into one. Their shapes are distorted, with strands of gas and dust running between them. Each is emitting a lot of light. Further to the left is an unconnected, dimmer spiral galaxy. The background is dark, with a few smaller, dim and faint galaxies and a couple of stars.]

They were on motorcycles in our suburban area of DOLLARD DES ORMEAUX due to an accident and to sort out the traffic and of course to see if the driver was OK. It was a Holiday today called Victoria Day and a lot of people were out walking or driving.

Of course the day after I post my terrible photo of this car I finally see it and have the chance to take a superior photo to my last shot. Hope you guys enjoy this one more.

Fantails catch insects on the wing and perform some incredibly agile acrobatics when doing so. They are great fun to watch. This little guy had just caught another dragonfly. HBW everyone :-)

Pennington Golf Course when the only players are Magpies, the clouds are heavy but the slanting sunshine brought out the autumnal colours.
Spring cubs, Coastal Brown Bears (Ursus arctos). Of course, being bear cubs, they spent a lot of time knocking each other around. However, they are sisters, with a strong bond. At the end of the day, they are close. Silver Salmon Creek, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

Location: Pleasant Valley Golf Course - Stewartstown, Pennsylvania (York County)
NOTE: This small flock was sitting under this shady tree at the 8th hole, avoiding the sun and 90 degree heat.
I'm not a golfer - but I just might take it up to golf here. This is about a mile from where I grew up. I loved being able to see the Whitetank Mountains every day.
Of course, people come for the art of the Getty and perhaps, too, for its blinding architecture. But there are also pretty gardens. This photo has an overview with in the inset Ice Plants, now officially called Delosperma.
As the story continues from the previous post, the Peregrine finished showing off her catch and headed right for her perch. With bated breath, I tried to stay focused on the bird and hoped for the best.
As a bird photographer we realise how the circle of life works, however, there are times when natures normal course of action, transcends past the lens.
