Arp 321.
a compact group of five galaxies located in the constellation Hydra. It's a fascinating object for astronomers because these galaxies are in close proximity and interacting with each other.

Enjoying my experience on BS so far. I'm an associate professor in Illinois--teaching & researching extremism, ideology, and international trends in violence....as well as weird things like UFO narratives/beliefs.

It's less and less about an embodied faith.
