Cleanup date November 2007 Galaxy 2 Galaxy is a live electronic music electronic and jazz music collective featuring members of Underground Resistance . The name comes from an EP created by Mike Banks musician Mike Banks in 1993. Fame in the techno community rose from the release of A High Tech Jazz Compilation in 2005. History Jeff Mills and Mike Banks musician Mike Banks had an idea that Jazz music and musicians could operate with the same man machine doctrine that was seen in Kraftwerk Kraftwerk s music. This was presaged by early experiments with synthesisers and jazz by artists including Herbie Hancock , Stevie Wonder , Weather Report , Return to Forever , Larry Heard and Lenny White Lenny White s Astral Pirates . This pointed them in this direction and led to the first Hi Tech Jazz release on Underground Resistance UR which was Nation 2 Nation in 1990. Mike Banks musician Mad Mike Banks subsequently released the Galaxy 2 Galaxy EP on Underground Resistance UR in 1993. This EP was an example of Hi Tech Jazz also known as Hi Tech Soul , which was a style of music pioneered by UR and named after the track on this EP. Subsequently the tracks Journey of the Dragons and Hi Tech Jazz have appeared on a number of compilations by artists including Danny Krivit and Laurent Garnier . On these compilations, rather than credit Banks, the tracks were attributed to Galaxy 2 Galaxy. Having created this EP, Mike Banks did not use the name Galaxy 2 Galaxy again.

Unreferenced date May 2009 Image Hoag s object.jpg right thumb Hoag s Object, a ring galaxy. Another red ring galaxy can be seen behind it. A ring galaxy is a galaxy with a ring like appearance. The ring consists of massive, relatively young blue star s, which are extremely bright. The central region contains relatively little luminous matter . Some Astronomy astronomers believe that ring galaxies are formed when a smaller galaxy passes through the center of a larger galaxy. Because most of a galaxy consists of empty space, this collision rarely results in any actual collisions between stars. However, the gravity gravitational disruptions caused by such an event could cause a wave of star formation to move through the larger galaxy. Others think that rings are formed around some galaxies when external Accretion astrophysics accretion takes place. Star formation would then take place in the accreted material because of the shocks and compressions of the accreted material.

Unreferenced date March 2009 Galaxy 1 was the first in a line of communications satellites launched by Hughes Aircraft Hughes Space and Communications Hughes Communications in 1983. It was the first satellite exclusively devoted to cable television , and carried many such services as HBO, Cinemax, The Movie Channel, Showtime, The Disney Channel, TBS, CNN, among some. In 1992, Galaxy 1 was replaced by Galaxy 5 as the predominant cable television service, when a majority of satellite TV services relocated onto that satellite. It was originally slated for retirement in 1992 and replacement by Galaxy 1R, but the replacement was lost during launch and it would not be replaced until 1994, when it was replaced by Galaxy 1RR. The Home Box Office signal on transponder 23 of Galaxy 1 was interrupted during the infamous Captain Midnight HBO Captain Midnight attack on April 27, 1986. The attack was directed towards HBO for their adoption of the Videocipher system and for charging high prices for access to the HBO and Cinemax services with that system.
