Also known as NGC 1427A. Note amidst all the stars the spiral galaxy in the background. Over 20,000 light-years long, this is a doomed galaxy due to violent episodes of relatively nearby star formations. NASA image from the Hubble Telescope. PhotoShop work to create the desktop -- hope you enjoy!

Nice image. You guys shouldn't give up on Hubble just yet though, if everything goes well, it'll keep functioning till 2010.
