Colliding Galaxies

The Hubble Telescope gives us 59 new images - pretty amazing stuff.  Here's an excerpt from the people at Wired that deserves a couple of reads to fully appreciate. 
"Although only one in a million of the galaxies closest to us are interacting, galaxies much further away (the light we are getting from them is billions of years old) are caught "in the act" more often. This is because there were more galactic collisions in the early universe, so looking farther away (which is also farther into the past) will increase your chances of seeing galaxies collide."
Nothing like a few colliding galaxies to make the Democratic Primary seem pretty small.
