The Creation and Collision of Galaxies

Watch the video below to see a simulation of the creation of a galaxy. Note the counterclockwise spinning and the gravity that is pulling material towards it. As the galaxy continues to get larger, it absorbs a smaller galaxy and becomes even bigger.

Crashing Galaxies

This simulation is what scientists believe will happen when 2 galaxies collide. The simulation was created by using images provided by the Hubble Telescope and a little imagination. The Simulation details what scientists believe will happen then stop the animation and show actual photos that demonstrate the galaxies in that portion of the simulation and thereby support the theory.
