Hard to tell since you are basically looking at a 30 million year old picture.

30 million years old? Doesn't look a day over 20 million.

Maybe over there Palin is President?

I saw a show on TV as a Lad, about a spaceship sent to a planet directly opposite the sun, traveling through space in the same orbit just on the opposite side of the sun.

When they got there, they hadn’t left and things (current events?)were slightly askew.

Great premise for a SF book with this new Twin Galaxy, huh?

If you can call a galaxy that's twice as big as ours its "twin." ;-D

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito come to mind.

Look at "An interactive journey" at that link.

It is my opinion the best picture of anything ever made.
