So I'll be updating Universe Today from the road. I think I've got everything worked out, but I've seen enough business travel to know things never work properly. Hopefully this won't be the last issue you'll see until August 12th, but it just might be... See you when I get back. Fraser Cain Publisher Universe Today ************************************** -- UNIVERSE TODAY STORY SUMMARY -- * Hubble Spots Warped Galaxy * Discovery Should Launch August 9th HUBBLE SPOTS WARPED GALAXY ------------------------- The Hubble Space Telescope has taken a new edge-on picture of an unusually warped galaxy. Unlike most spiral galaxies, which appear flat when seen from the side, this image of galaxy ESO 510-G13 shows how it's been twisted by a recent collision with another galaxy, which it's currently swallowing. This photograph marks a milestone for Hubble, which has now taken over 100,000 photographs.
