To commemorate the Hubble telescope's 14th anniversary, NASA has released another photo, this one depicting the brilliant aftermath of a collision between galaxies. The resulting "ring galaxy" appears as a swirling ring of blue stars surrounding a yellow glow -- the remains of what had once been a spiral galaxy.
Wired has this story, along with a slideshow of some of the more spectacular photos taken by Hubble over the years. Space.com has a write-up as well, with links to more galleries.
