The Colliding Spiral Galaxies of Arp 274

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Here, two spiral galaxies, Arp 274, are colliding in the constellation Virgo. While the stars usually do not hit each other, the dust and gas in both galaxies does collide. One galaxy can gravitationally rip the other apart. If they merge, the black holes at their centers may eventually merge too.
