Colorize Feed Items in Google Reader

All platforms running Firefox with Greasemonkey: Add a little color to your RSS feeds with the Google Reader Colorful List view script. This Greasemonkey user script turns each feed item a different color which depends upon the feed name, offering a fun way to visually ID feeds from the same source in a folder’s list view, as shown. Of course, if you read your feeds one source at a time instead of interleaving them, they’ll all appear to be the same uniform color. The Google Reader Colorful List View is a free download that requires Firefox and the Greasemonkey extension.

Hubble Digs Up Galactic Glow Worm

This charming and bright galaxy, known as IRAS 23436+5257, was captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It is located in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia, which is named after an arrogant, vain, and yet beautiful mythical queen.

The twisted, wormlike structure of this galaxy is most likely the result of a collision and subsequent merger of two galaxies. Such interactions are quite common in the universe, and they can range from minor interactions involving a satellite galaxy being caught by a spiral arm, to major galactic crashes. Friction between the gas and dust during a collision can have a major effect on the galaxies involved, morphing the shape of the original galaxies and creating interesting new structures.

When you look up at the calm and quiet night sky it is not always easy to picture it as a dynamic and vibrant environment with entire galaxies in motion, spinning like children’s toys and crashing into whatever crosses their path. The motions are, of course, extremely slow, and occur over millions or even billions of years.
