Andromeda Collision - V2
An artist's impression of the Milky Way galaxy
colliding with Andromeda. Our galaxy, the Milky Way,
is moving towards the Andromeda galaxy. Astronomers
predict that in about 4 billion years, the two galaxies will collide and begin to
merge. The Solar...

Galaxy Ejecting Star
This shows a hypothetical spiral galaxy seen from an
oblique angle. A red dwarf star has been ejected by the galaxy at high speeds and will wander the void between
galaxies. Such objects are known as free-floating stars....

Galaxy Tidal Streams - V1
Artwork of a galaxy surrounded by stellar streams.
Streams are elongated, looping structures made from stars and gas. They result when a
smaller galaxy passes a more massive one and becomes
torn apart by tidal forces....
