Very cool. And that collision is merely one AU away (AU = Astronomical Unit = 93 million miles). That is awfully darned close, by astronomical standards!

Hubble is probably the best thing we ever put in space. That image is truly amazing, and after reading this you can really see a movie scenario like 'Deep Impact' happening.
