Nice page. FX (talk) 02:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was very easy to create, considering the number of other things called Supergalaxy or some variant thereof. 70.51.8.9 (talk) 07:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh

Check out this wikipedia page

The two Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 on the left and NGC 4039 on the right) are a pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation Corvus that are undergoing a galactic collision. They are known as the 'Antennae' because the two long tails of stars, gas, and dust thrown out of the galaxies as a result of the collision resemble the antennae of an insect. The nuclei of the two galaxies are joining to become one supergalaxy. This is likely the future of our Milky Way when it collides with Andromeda.

If you have been following the attempts to delete the astronomical version of super galaxy, you will see the humor of that.

I didn't want to mention it on the debate page, because some nimrod will likely edit it, to remove the term supergalaxy. Because if it isn't on wikipedia, it doesn't exist!

I wish I was kidding. Some AW already edited the Antennae Galaxies page to remove the term. It is funny. FX (talk) 07:50, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How ironic
