I grabbed this photo from Interspace news. The image was released on Dec. 21 last year. Astronomers found an eye-catching extraordinary case in the outer space using adaptive optics on the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT). They named it as "Cosmic Bird" or "the Tinker Bell Triplet". It is composed of two massive spiral galaxies and a third irregular galaxy.I always like outer space subjects. It reminds me of when I used to teach in one of the universities in my homeland before. A third irregular galaxy is often chaotic in appearance. It kinda looked like a dragon fly at the first time I saw the photo. I am astonished by God's mysterious works in the entire universe.
