========= Galaxy Wars: M81 versus M82 - In the end there can only be One =========
Galaxy Wars: M81 versus M82
Galaxy M81 is on the left surrounded by blue spiral arms.
On the right marked by massive gas and dust clouds, is M82.
These two mammoth galaxies have been locked in gravitational combat for the past billion years.
The gravity from each galaxy dramatically affects the other during each hundred million-year pass.
Last go-round, M82's gravity likely raised density waves rippling around M81,
resulting in the richness of M81's spiral arms.
M81 left M82 with violent star forming regions and colliding gas clouds.
In a few billion years only one galaxy will remain.

Amazing pictures. Some are just heartbreaking.
"In a few billion years only one galaxy will remain."
Kinda puts all of the above into perspective doesn't it? Thank you for a most awe-inspiring picture.
I'm grateful that Israel took them in from Lebanon.
However, the withdrawal of Israeli troops was a bad move at the time. South Lebanon Army helped to stablize the border with Israeli support.
The SLA was closely allied with Israel. It supported the Israelis by combatting the PLO in the strip of Southern Lebanon until the Israeli invasion to Lebanon in 1982. After that, SLA support for the Israelis was mainly by fighting against other Lebanese guerilla forces lead by Hezbollah until 2000 in the Security Zone, the area of the South kept under occupation after the partial Israeli withdrawal in 1985. In return, Israel supplied the organisation with arms, uniforms, and other logistical equipment.
Since there were only 1,000 to 1,200 Israeli troops in South Lebanon at one time [2], the SLA carried out the bulk of Israel's fighting. The SLA also handled all civilian governmental operations in Israel's zone of control.
As always, thanks Dio!
Bump and Ping. Thank you.
Didn't know if you had seen this map. One of the better maps I have seen concerning missiles and Israel.
Great to see you back in action Diogenesis, and thanks for all you do on these threads.
Thank you!!!
Amazing to look at those pictures and there's FReepers who take it upon themselves to dump on our folks over there....
excellent! thanks
Dio, thanks for all the time you put into these posts. Really!
good map ,but ain't it reversed
What a tool box. This guy gets his outpost taken out by IAF bombs then stages a few "Look Ma, I'm fightin' in the war photos" like there are actually Israeli soldiers on the ground that he's drawing a bead on. Then he scurries off as the passenger on the back of some crappy motorbike to have the pics developed.
ping...
My favorite too.
Imagine if we had American children signing bombs to be aimed at terrorists. The libs would have a conniption.
