Essentially, yes. It is possible our galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy (our sister galaxy) collided once before, and are likely to collide again. Over the age of the universe that would be two collisions within 20 billion years. So, not especially frequent.
We can see galaxies in the process of colliding now, and others that "recently" collided. A galactic collision occurs over the space of millions of years, depending upon their relative speeds.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if 10 galaxies collide into each other at the same timeHow big would the supernova be?
When galaxies "collide", the individual stars do not actually smash together; they're far enough apart that they mostly slip past each other.
Why do stars rarely collide during galactic collision?
Stars within a galaxy are far apart and can easily pass each other if two galaxies collide. But as galaxies approach each other, the mutual gravitational attraction changes their shapes. While the stars rarely hit each other, the collison of gas and dust sets off rapid bursts of new star formation.
Does earth's orbit slightly collide with Saturn's rings?
No. They are very far apart
What pairs of objects are the farthest apart?
The pair of objects that are the farthest apart in the universe are galaxies. Galaxies are clusters of billions of stars and are separated by vast distances in the universe. The observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter, so galaxies within it can be incredibly far apart.
What happens when stars calide?
When stars collide they connect their galaxies and explode.If our earth was at the far end of the explosion we would survive but if we were in the middle the explosion would be too intense for anyone to survive.
How is the Big Bang theory supported by the observed Doppler shift of galaxies?
Doppler shift shows that galaxies are moving away from each other at rates that depend on how far apart they are. According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe began with an enormous explosion. Then, the entire universe began to expand everywhere at the same time.The doppler shift shows that galaxies are moving away from each other at rates that depend on how far apart they are.
How far apart should n gauge rails be?
N Gauge rails are by definition 9mm apart. This is regardless of the scale of the model components, which frequently ranges from 1:148 to 1:160.
How far apart are the milky way and the Andromeda Galaxy?
The current estimate is about 2.5 million light years.The current estimate is about 2.5 million light years.The current estimate is about 2.5 million light years.The current estimate is about 2.5 million light years.
Is the size of galaxies or the space between each galaxy larger?
The space in between galaxies is far larger than the galaxies themselves.
How far does the galaxys go for?
There are more and more galaxies for as far as we can see.
How far are galaxies?
quintillions of miles away.
A bug flies between 2 trains which are heading towards each other at a speed of 6 mph each If the trains are 12 miles apart and the bug flies 8 mph how far will the bug fly before they collide?
The trains will collide in one hour. The answer is 8 miles.
