spitzer and hubble join forces
The Spitzer Space Telescope, with an amazing infrared contribution, and the Hubble Space Telescope, with its visible light snapshot, have teamed up to give us this magical view of NGC 2207 and IC 2163 -- a pair of galaxies in a cosmic dance nearly 140 million lightyears off in the constellation Canis Major.
On a related note, don't forget to follow the links in my mini-blogroll to a couple of wonderful astronomy related sites Centauri Dreams and The SpaceWriter's Ramblings. Also, don't miss Susan A. Kitchens' 2020 Hindsight and Martian Soil (I really do need to get those two added to the link list.)
reactions, thoughts, comments, etc.
Have you checked out Slacker Astronomy? They have a fabulous astronomy-related podcast, hitting astronomy news that the major media usually misses (they purposely avoid stuff already being covered in the major media).

Can't help but seeing a pair of evil eyes in that picture. As someone already mentioned the 'No Fear logo' over at the BABlog.
