A Chinese Dragon and a Knotted Galactic Embrace

The Gemini Observatory has released a pair of images that capture the dynamics of two very different interactions in space. One is a cold, dark dust cloud that resembles an ethereal-looking Chinese dragon. The other shows a distant duo of galaxies locked in a knot-like embrace that could portend the long-term future of our own Milky Way galaxy. <b>NOTE: French, German, Italian, and Spanish translations follow...</b>
