Galaxy Smash Up Pictures from ALMA

Wonderful pictures and information from Nat Geo as usual.

The Antennae Galaxies glow with psychedelic colors in the first publicly released picture that uses data from the Atacama Large Millimetre/sub-millimetre Array, or ALMA, a new telescope high in Chile's northern desert.

First Ever Image Of Fourth Order Rainbow

Image copyright to Michael Theusner

Double rainbows became an internet meme when a man placed a video of one on YouTube - complete with his hilariously exaggerated reaction, and sobbing voice, in the background.

Now a German sky photographer has gone not just one, but two, better: this photo reveals the first fourth-order rainbow ever reported - and only the second third-order rainbow to be photographed. It comes hot on the heels of the first ever photograph of a third-order rainbow - taken by another German sky photographer.
