Galactic Soap Opera:   Look and Listen   Galaxies are a lot like people – they lead fascinating lives filled with drama.  Multimedia products now online tell the story of how galaxies and stars are born, go through the toddler and teenage stages, "get married" and age.  NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and Galaxy Evolution Explorer are studying these cosmic milestones.  Audio and visual products now playing at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/spotlights/200609-stars.cfm include:   An audio podcast about the galactic soap opera A slide show featuring stunning "snapshots of the universe" A video showing how data from space telescopes is transformed into beautiful images and becomes the inspiration for creative art   The materials are also available by going directly to JPL's Multimedia page at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/ .     -end-
