Stars very rarely collide. Space is too big for that to happen.

What the theory states that the universe began in a violent explosion?

The theory that states the universe began in a violent explosion is the Big Bang theory. It proposes that the universe started as a singularity and has been expanding ever since, leading to the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets. This explosion occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago.


When a stars core collapses does a giant explosion happen?

Yes, if the star is massive enough when the core collapses a supernova explosion happens.


Why do asteroids and meteorites rarely collide with earth?

In a massive galactic collision, the stars much further apart than the water droplets in a rain cloud; the odds that any two stars would collide would be astronomical. However, the number of stars IS "astronomical", in the trillions for a big galaxy like the Milky Way and Andromeda, which WILL collide in about 4 billion years. So it's very possible that at least two such stars will collide, with catastrophic results; in all likelihood, the two stars would start to merge and promptly go nova, destroying them. But as a general rule, stars don't collide.


How many years ago did the big explosion occur?

What explosion And if you are talking about the Big bang it happened about 13.7 billion years ago


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 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.


Why can't you see two stars collide?

Mostly, because stars are SO far apart! However, we have seen two stars that are so close together that one is stealing mass right off of the other star. If two stars were to actually collide, they would cause an explosion very much like a supernova.


Is matter still moving away from the explosion of the big bang?

The question is wrong in two ways:The Big Bang is not an explosion. It is an expansion of space.Matter has never been moving away from the Big Bang. The space between stars and galaxies is expanding.
