CBS News reports that on Monday, NASA released two new images from the Hubble Space Telescope – the first images released since the telescope resumed operations after fixing a computer anomaly. The two images, captured over the weekend, are of “a ‘rarely observed’ pair of colliding galaxies, and a large ‘unusual’ spiral galaxy, NASA announced.
