It’s just money

We wanted to spend Xmas with our mom’s, far more important

 

Understand and assumed that would be the case.  Would not mind to spend a Christmas with the family as well.  But with kids and the fairly short school holidays this time of the year, that would not be an option for us at the moment.

Day 18: A Giant Galactic Hybrid. The galaxy UGC 12591 sits somewhere between a lenticular and a spiral galaxy. It lies just under 400 million light-years away from us in the westernmost region of the Pisces–Perseus Supercluster, a long chain of galaxy clusters that stretches out for hundreds of light-years—one of the largest known structures in the cosmos. UGC 12591 is also extraordinarily massive. The galaxy and its halo together contain several hundred billion times the mass of the Sun, or four times the mass of the Milky Way. It also whirls round extremely quickly, rotating at speeds of up to 1.8 million kilometres per hour.
