^ Echoing the weightless curls of our anti-heroine's hair, the deranged arms of galaxy UGC 1810, seen twisting across this new composite Hubble image sampling the ultraviolet, blue, and red wavelengths, are thought to have been distorted from the usual spiral shape by a collision with the galaxy below it, UGC 1813. The galactic pair, collectively known as Arp 273, also display the type of brilliant starburst activity theorized to follow in the wake of such cosmic disruptions.
 
Have a lovely Christmas or whatever you like to call it! If you're looking for something more to look at after unstuffing your stocking, give the Masters of Ink interview series at optimumwound.com a perusal; those interested in the creation of comic art will be treated to some very talented and experienced professionals giving the gritty details of their tools and methods--particularly interesting to me as I was thinking maybe I should try one of those dip pen things, get some really hard lines--and everyone will, I think, enjoy at least some of the incredible art accompanying the technical details.
