This is the holiday
card used at Cardas
Audio this year.
The "tree"
has the company
logo as a tree
topper,
the top of the
line cable as
garland and
the galaxy cluster
Abell 1689 as the
body of the tree
itself.

NASA's Hubble Space
Telescope used the
natural "zoom lens"
of Abell 1638 to boost
its view of the distant universe. Hubble peered
straight through the center of one of the most
massive galaxy clusters known, located 2.2 billion
light-years away,for more than 13 hours. The
gravity of the cluster's trillion stars, plus dark
matter, acts as a 2-million light-year-wide
"gravitational lens" that bends and
magnifies the light of galaxies located far behind
it. It distorts their shapes, creating arc shaped
images of galaxies older than any photographed before..
Merry Christmas Everyone! Catch ya on the flip side.
