Astronomers have captured a new image of two spiral galaxies locked in the early stages of a collision and merger. The Gemini North telescope observation shows the Butterfly galaxies, NGC 4568 and NGC ...

When galaxies collide, it's not a gentle affair, but it does take millions of years. Over this time, the two massive star systems slowly merge together, their gravitational pull drawing them closer.

What does it look like when galaxies collide? The Hubble Telescope captured a unique sight as two galaxies are in the process of merging. NASA says the galaxy, called NGC 1614, is about 200 million ...

A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...

NASA has released a new composite image of two spiral galaxies, NGC 2207 and IC 2163, as they begin a multi-billion-year process of merging into a single celestial entity. This event was captured with ...
