Can you tell us where this is?

 

Lucius Alexander

 

The palindromedary wants to go there.

I forget how I stumbled across it, but I just thought it was an artist's fancy. I don't know if it's a 'shopped pic of someplace real, sorry.

Well' date=' here's one heck of an Epic Space Opera premise: 4 galaxies colliding.[/quote']

Five galaxies, actually. That's Stephan's Quintet (a wider-field groundbased optical-only image with some discussion here), with the X-ray emission from very hot (million-degree plus) gas false-colored in as the funky sky-blue stuff.

 

So not only are they colliding, but the wreckage has begun to fly apart.

Perhaps there's a moon there that's been propelled away from a planet at faster-than-light speeds...

Artist Mike Kelley created a series of art pieces based on the bottle city of Kandor. Yes, the Kryptonian city miniaturized by Braniac and kept in a bottle by Superman. The exhibition was originally shown at the Jablonka Galerie in Berlin in 2007.
