Ever wondered why two majestic spiral galaxies, destined for a cosmic collision, don't just create a bigger, more chaotic spiral? This video dives into the fascinating phenomenon of spiral-spiral mergers and uncovers the underlying physics that transforms them into smooth, often featureless elliptical galaxies.
In this exploration of galactic evolution, we'll uncover:
► The initial gravitational dance and collision dynamics between two spiral galaxies.
► How stellar orbits are violently disrupted and randomized during the merger process.
► The role of gas, dust, and star formation bursts in reshaping the new galaxy.
► Why the resulting elliptical galaxy appears smooth and lacks the distinct arms of its progenitors.
► The long-term implications of these mergers for the structure and evolution of the universe.
