Here's a link to one of the coolest galaxy photos I've ever seen.

Click on the photo for more info and for various sized download
options if you want to save it.

The following link will take you straight to the high-res Hubble
image. It's about 400K, so don't go there if you're on a slow
connection. If you don't mind downloading something that size,
though, it's definitely worth the look.
