Colliding galaxies.

[dragondov]

its cool and sad to think that in 2 billion years andromeda is predicted to collide with our galaxy

[Zeta9966]

Honestly, galactic collision would result in minimal damages to the bodies within the galaxy. There are actually 3 small galaxies that are colliding with the Milky Way as we sit here and type this. And in a few million (billion?) years, we collide head on with Andromeda. We wouldn't even notice it. The effects shown in this video would happen over millions of years. It wouldn't be catastrophic at all.

[alitosvalencia]

Imagine if there is another type of life living during the collision!!!!!.............big­ass DISASTER!!!......I cant imagine seing another Galaxy colliding with ours!

[libraryquiet]

@alitosvalencia Nothing will happen to us gizmo! You watch too much Hollywood. Galactic collisions is a process that takes millions of years to complete gizmo. At whatever stage the collision was in during the development of the human species until it's extinction the sky would hardly ever change but the view would be spectacular! That's why I wish we were colliding with the Andromeda Galaxy right now. We will in about five billion years. Stop watching movies and start reading gizmo!

what web site did you go to????

[paulusmagirl]

I don't understand how anything would happen

if two galaxies collide. Planets and stars are

so far apart that you wouldn't think most of

them would impact one another?

[funnywhiteroots]

the gravity is what does most of the damage.

[joshscott911]

The gas clouds from the remains of stars would collide.

[remixx0r]

what funny said mostly... the galaxies would first pass through one another like ghosts then years and years later they would whip back then pass each other again then whip back till eventually the center of them "super massive black holes" would consume one another and create a bigger black hole... it would literally suck us into the finish product of the newer blackhole or we'd get thrown into the vacuum of space.

[paulusmagirl]

Crazy!!

[watwudkimmydo]

ummm each galaxy has a black whole in the center so if 2 collide it wud mess up the whole thing cuz the black whole is wat keeps the galaxies together

[arthursydny]

Captain Kirk will beem us out of the milky way galaxy to another distant galaxy by then..3 billions years from now.

[skylarkio]

wow-brilliant!

[69malvino69]

Pretty awesome vid

[Icabobster]

Is there anyway I can get this song from you? I've looked everywhere for it.

[hotdogfilms]

I think i got it off the last fm archive website ages ago

[OohDesire]

Nice video!

[hotdogfilms]

If our race survives long enough to see it, maybe.

[AlgeKalipso]

I don´t think so, aparently, macroscopic collitions doesn´t realy affects starst in itsef, so most the stars in a galaxy actually doesn´t collide with other star from the other. By the way, our own galaxy is going to collide with Andromeda in 6 billion years.

[eatmahcherry]

what if our galaxy collided with another galaxy? is it our end?

[dabigkid]

It's so amazing how things work on a macro scale. It seems hard to fathom that at the same time a pin head has over a million atoms, that all of this is happening at a scale that makes our individual sun so insignificant. I love astronomy. The sky is so beautiful. Filled with mystery and fathom. There's so much more to be said, but I'm sadly limited by 500 characters.

[ORenBasilitz]

@dabigkid Well said within your word limit :)

[libraryquiet]

@dabigkid Our sun is very significant! It's the only star we know of that has a orbiting planet with life on it. Until we discover and make contact with another intelligent lifeform from another system our sun is very significant!! Our sun is very special among all the stars and don't you forget it! This is not arrogance it's a fact!

[Sehnsucht191]

Wow, I've never seen a video or read about the galaxies dissipating after collision. o.o They usually form into a single galaxy. That's insane.

[Sofieeeeeeeeeeee]

Yeah, that showed us how deeply insignificant we are...

[brandijaxin]

Wow I loved it!!!

[8arsh]

How ancient, how vague, lol

[TimeCode90]

that was awesome!

[HDGL]

it aint the world dumbass

[hotdogfilms]

what do you mean by that?

[midnightwalker9]

Untz Untz dance music - was created in the center of stars.

[Icabobster]

Pretty damn deadly. Cool clips, nice explanations. This world is pretty amazing.
