Courtesy of Hubble:
The deepest image of the Universe ever captured.
Most patches of light in the image are galaxies, each one is home to billions of stars.

This is what happens when galaxies collide; a billion year gravitational waltz.
This supercomputer simulation includes images from Hubble of actual galactic collisions at different stages.

The best visualisation of light and relativity I've seen.
