Colliding Galaxies Form Exclamation Point

The Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured galaxies VV 340 North and VV340 South at the early stages of their merge, an interaction that will take millions of years. This cosmic punctuation mark is located about 450 million light years from Earth.

And as they collide killing billions of beings that may or may not live in there :(

@espeon1 NO! Stars in galaxies are still VERY far apart. When galaxies collide, very little happens to the individual star-planet systems. And nothing happens quickly. These events take billions of years to play out; plenty of time for creatures to adapt...probably.

There has got to be some intelligent life in those galaxies.

@Drrck11 I wonder if we have any in our galaxy, made that solar system, make that this planet, oh heck, let's take it all the way to Washington, DC or New York, New York.
