U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, waves while standing with his wife Heidi Nelson Cruz and children as he marks the start of his presidential campaign by giving the convocation address at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, U.S., on Monday, March 23, 2015.

What do you see in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope: a porpoise or a penguin?Amateur astronomers have nicknamed this pretty galactic pair after both of these creatures – the graceful curve of a dolphin or porpoise can be seen in the blue- and red-tinged shape towards the bottom of the frame, and when paired with the pale, glowing orb just beneath it, the duo bear a striking resemblance to a bird or penguin guarding an egg.The form of the penguin itself is made up of a single galaxy that has been twisted, distorted and ripped apart. This galaxy, named NGC 2936, was once a normal spiral like the Milky Way, until its arms were torn apart to form the mix of electric blue streaks, glowing gas and curving strands of red material seen in this image. What was once the galaxy’s bright central bulge now forms the ‘eye’ of the penguin. (credit:NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA))
