INCREDIBLE and spectacular Hubble image of a galaxy that got whacked by another galaxy The collision caused easily visible multiple rings of stars to ripple outward

Time for, well, not a distraction so much as a palate cleanser: a truly phenomenal shot from Hubble of a galaxy that is rippling like a pond that had a rock tossed in it… because that's what happened! Kinda.

And YES you want to grab the hi-res version.
