  • The title is misleading.

    The process of merging/colliding sure will take place over duation of hundreds of millions of years, if not billions.

    This is nothing more than an animation sped up 1 second=100,000,000 years.

    Please don't mislead people by false information.

  • @TheLaserlord

    3-5 billion and it will take place over hundreds of millions of years.

    I've freed up some time to watch it and have my deck chair ready but I better quit smoking if I want to live long enough to see the whole thing. :P

  • @ES350ES350 Sorry if I seem like I am in some ways arrogant/blunt by what I am about to say, but if I'm honest, I don't think the title is misleading at all.

    As far as I'm concerned it is pretty common knowledge that the merging happens over a long time; therefore I find it common sense that the hubble telescope cannot take full scale videos that show the whole process from start to finish. If you ask me, anybody that clicks on this video expecting such a thing must not be very bright at all.

  • no stars collide with each other ,even though there are billions of them as the space between them and gravity ensure they dont.So nothing actually collides apart from clouds of molecular gas....

  • Yea, we definitely have not had Hubble long enough to catch that whole process... It's obviously CG, anyway.

  • your all full of educated bullshit,i supose i need extinction,so you can look good talking bullshit.;)

  • @ES350ES350 go f urself

  • @mickwillie1 Would you Please STFU!? stupid ignorant piece of undereducated, scared and above all annoying idiot!

    thank you in advance.

  • @ES350ES350 But they were colliding at that time, so the title really isn't misleading.
