Another picture!
Wow, they're just releasing pictures left and right. This one is in celebration of my 14th birthday coming up this weekend (Saturday or Sunday, depending on whether you want to count from my launch or my deployment). Anyway, you probably want to see the picture instead of hear me ramble on about getting older.

Looky here!

If you're curious what you're looking at, it is galaxy AM 0644-741. It is what is termed a "ring galaxy" for rather obvious reasons. Earlier in its galactic life it would have been a spiral galaxy, but a galactic collision has left what looks like a bracelet of blue diamonds which, if I say so myself, is rather stunning. If you're curious, the entire Milky Way could fit inside that ring, so it's probably rather larger than anything you'd want to give your sweetheart (or your favorite satellite telescope for his birthday, though I think I'd much prefer a new gyroscope). It looks so blue because the collision also resulted in new star births, so many are younger stars burning a bright blue/white.

This is so completely immodest of me, but sometimes I even impress myself.
