#galaxy

Описание: According to astronomical data , the possible outcomes of such a collision include:
​Merger: If the galaxies do not have enough momentum to pass through each other, they will eventually merge. Their mutual gravity pulls them together, and over millions of years, they combine to form a single, large elliptical galaxy.
​Starbursts: As the gas clouds within the galaxies collide and compress, it can trigger massive bursts of new star formation.
​Distortion: The strong gravitational forces will distort the spiral shapes, often creating long "tails" or "bridges" of stars and gas flung out into space.
​No Star Collisions: Interestingly, the spaces between stars are so vast that individual stars almost never collide with each other, even while the galaxies themselves are merging.
