![]() | Hubble peers inside a celestial geodeReal geodes are handball-sized, hollow rocks that start out as bubbles in volcanic or sedimentary rock. Only when these inconspicuous round rocks are split in half by a geologist, do we get a chance to appreciate the inside of the rock cavity that is lined with crystals.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA |

![]() | Evil Eye GalaxyA collision of two galaxies has left a merged star system with an unusual appearance as well as bizarre internal motions. Messier 64 (M64) has a spectacular dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy's bright nucleus, giving rise to its nicknames of the Black Eye or Evil Eye galaxy.Download WallpaperPhoto by: NASA, ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team |
