Nice pics there!

And to think, someday maybe we'll be watching the same thing happen to the Milky Way and Andromeda!

Awesome pics!!! Good find my friend.

It would be amazing to see moving pics of this happening but that will never happen in our lifetime.
I Hubble started taking timelapse now our decendants in 1M years wold get a good vid out of it.....

GrooveCat,
Yes. I make syou wonder what the milky way and andromeda would look like now as viewed from another galaxy.

If they are 100 million light years away then that happen 100 million years ago right?

So that was before the dinosaurs and all. Wonder what it looks like now... We gonna have to wait 100 million years to find out(:

Nice find Bamaoutlaw; Thanks for sharing it. Further here you can find all the 59 new images of colliding galaxies

Photo Release - heic0810: Galaxies gone wild!

Fifty nine new images of colliding galaxies make up the largest collection of Hubble images ever released together. As this astonishing Hubble atlas of interacting galaxies illustrates, galaxy collisions produce a remarkable variety of intricate structures.

I was just taking a look through youtube when i stumbled across a video of this,

Absolutely beautiful and infinitely wonderful. This is exactly why I get irritated every time NASA funding gets cut. Supposed conspiracies aside, they do serve a purpose.

Thas our future right there..

the Andro-Milky collision... too bad we wont be around to experience something like that....
