NGC 4038/4039 Antennae Galaxy formed by Colliding Galaxy

The sequence begins by depicting the collision of two large galaxies which now form The Antennae. Gas and stars from the galaxies are ejected into long arcs. The animation then shows how collisions between huge gas clouds in the central region of the merging system trigger a stellar baby boom. Next, as seen in a closer view, the most massive of these stars race through their evolution in a few million years. These stars end their lives as they explode as supernovas that further heat the clouds and enrich them with heavy elements. In conclusion, the animation dissolves into Chandra's X-ray image of The Antennae galaxies.

@PRob82 Surprisingly, this is real. I'm doing a project on the Antennae Galaxy, which, depicted in this graphic video, is two galaxies colliding into to each other (it was named the Antennae Galaxy due to its shape). Maybe you should Google it before coming to a conclusion when judging.

@PRob82 your right , and what you saw is 10.000 times faster then real , but what you see is something that realy happens as you read this its happening alover the universe , otherwise there whas no internet ......no supernova, nu human , no coliding ga+axy no life ... i think its the target of the universe , creating galaxy,s with life . life is the ultimate level of creation in the universe , and hell no we are not just one planet with life on it , that is a stupid idear

@tomsawyersucks imagin a pinweel galaxy can think like you and i do , and its lookin for another one to made with , i found out a galaxy can do something like makin love , if this did not happen a galaxy would not survive , yet other do not survive they get completely sucked up by another one. like you say man rawww
