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.


Can 2 spiral galaxies create a elliptical galaxy?

yes they can and if that happens the galaxy will be destroyes :)


What do you expect find in other galaxies?

spiral,elliptical,irregular galaxies


What is one way that an elliptical galaxy differs from the other types of galaxies?

Elliptical galaxies are large blob shaped galaxies that most galaxies will eventually look like. Elliptical galaxies are what happens when two or more large galaxies collide and coalesce.


What galaxies have arms winding outward from inner region?

Spiral galaxies and spiral means other body parts that stick out and move.

Other spiral galaxies.


Can galaxies steal stars from one another?

Not generally, but galaxies do collide sometimes. In fact, the Andromeda Galaxy will probably collide with the Milky Way in about 3 billion years or so. In the collision, stars are often "flung" from one galaxy to the other, or thrown out of the original galaxy entirely. Follow the link below to see what happens when galaxies collide!


What are some other shapes of galaxies?

spiral, barred spiral, elliptical, irregular, and peculiar


What do you expect to find in other galaxie?

Are there any other galaxies in the universe shaped like the milky way?

We believe that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy. Follow the link to see Hubble photos of other barred spiral galaxies.


Galaxies are classified by their shape what are they called?

There are three types of galaxies, all of which are the same, with the exception of their shapes. There are the Elliptical galaxies (football-shaped) the Spiral galaxies (like the Milky way; vortex-shaped) and Irregular galaxies (all shapes other than spiral and football shaped).


How is a spiral galaxy and a barred galaxy alike?
