That is a photo of the Peacekeeper MIRV. Those 8 spears of light are warheads, each of which, if live, would be 25 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.

Nah, its a very famous anime. Most of the people on the escapist know what it is.LarenzoAOG said:I'm sorry, but what does that mean exactly? Is Gurren Lagann a person?sgt. soap mctavish said:Really? It makes me thin of Gurren Lagann.LarenzoAOG said:While I think mine is more visually appealing, this one is many orders of magnitude more impressive.The Heavenator said:This is the most amazing photograph:

The Hubble Ultra-Deep Flied. It was taken over the period of months. To the naked eye this picture is an area of complete nothingness roughly one thirteen-millionth of the sky. Every point of light in this photo is an entire galaxy. There are an estimated 10 000 galaxies in this picture. See that large spiral galaxy in the lower right corner? It is so large that according to the science of time it should not exist.
The images of the galaxies are 13 billion years old. 13 BILLION. For reference the universe is thought to be only about 14 billion years old.
Funny, I'm watching How the Universe Works and that same photo just came up.

Allow me to one-up that oneMcMullen said:That is, without a doubt, the most fake-looking real image I've ever seen. It just screams "SHOPPED!", but there are other photos of it from different angles, so I guess it isn't.Wushu Panda said:Ash Cave in Logan, Ohio
