I think that's stellar evolution, rather than a galaxy.

Pretty. Nice complement to the feathered dinosaurs.

Stellar evolution sounds right, teece. Thx.

Those dinos sure are comical.

Those are like inspirational posters in the office of some guidance counselor who is always trying to get you to come over to his mom's basement to play AD&D and listen to Deep Purple.

(Thought process: that explosion is the most distant yet recorded, and the Tully-Fisher relation is a method of determining distance.)
