The vast cosmos is a thing of beauty and wonder. Star systems, planetary movements, even comets hurtling through the vacuum of space make for sights beyond awe and marvel. Thanks to modern technology, we don’t need to sit and wonder what these celestial events must look like hundreds and thousands of light-years away from us. The Hubble Space Telescope recently shared breath-taking images of galaxies colliding on the microblogging site Twitter and people cannot hold their amazement.
Galaxy collision is a very rare merging event where dramatic changes occur in their appearance as well as stellar content. The physical conditions can be extreme but the resulting view is phenomenal.
