Sometimes the world and all its troubles can be too much to handle. And then to compound that, one of those things which is supposed to temporarily alleviate those issues, watching South, makes matters even worse, especially in recent years. It times like these, it may help to put things back in perspective, by recognising how outrageously small our place in the scheme of things is.
These two galaxies are fighting a multi-billion year war against each other. Some day, one of them will not exist. The scale of the battle is ridiculous. Astronomy Picture of the Day is now available as link on the side, for those times when it seems we're going nowhere, and it's simply not enjoyable anymore. Just to put things in perspective, as well as to awe and amaze.

A few notes on comments.
We've had a lot of fun over the years with my freewheeling comments policy, but all good things must come to an end. Therefore I will no longer be approving comments that contain personal abuse of any sort.
Still, if your post doesn't get approved straight away, it's probably because I haven't seen it yet.
As usual, publication of a comment does not mean endorsement of its content.
