The Champagne Cluster is a rare and beautiful example of two galaxy clusters smashing together. Its festive name comes from both its New Year’s Eve discovery and its bubbly appearance in space. Images reveal superheated gas and galaxies spread across a massive collision zone. Astronomers believe this system could help explain how dark matter responds when giant structures collide.
Incredible prescience to be able to arrange this for New Years celebrations. On par with the astronomical event arranged by the three kings for the birth of Christ.
Turns out the world is ending, just not ours. But lots of others.
