Hubble captured “fountain of life”

This is not the usual sort of thing for me to post but I just came across this photo from the Hubble telescope and I’ve gone back to it again and again. It’s awe-inspiring. It’s amazing. It’s wonderful.
It’s a couple of galaxies interacting 200 million light years away from here. Between them is this “fountain” of new stars. The distance from the bottom of the lower galaxy to the top of the upper one is 100,000 light years!
Breath-taking
