Hi All,

This was released by the NASA/ESA Hubble page yesterday.

Contains dozens of really interesting and spectacular images of galaxies undergoing mergers etc. Nearly all of them a previously unreleased images.

Enjoy!!

also when I looked at the full res images-noise

so even Hubble has to contend with noise

I feel better now..to paraphrase Medibank
