@HarelDan @NASAGoddardPix @NASA_Hubble @NASAGoddard This takes none of the terror out of the phrase 'galaxy merger'.

Does it help that they happen very slowly? (Millions to billions of years!)

If space is so very big, couldn't there theoretically be enough galaxy merging that eventually 2 stars DO collide?
