http://spitzer.caltech.edu/images/2218-sig06-025a-Spitzer-View-of-the-Andromeda-Galaxy On August 25, 2003, NASA launched the Spitzer Space Telescope. Designed to peer into the infrared region of the spectrum, this instrument was designed to pierce the veil of dust and gas blocking visible light and look deeper into galaxies, where young stars are born. Music: Kevin MacLeod http://www.incompetech.com While imaging the Andromeda Galaxy, the Spitzer Space Telescope uncoverd a never-before-seen hole, the result of a collision with a nearby dwarf galaxy, in the Andromeda Galaxy.

R.I.P. milky way

2:28 , wtf.

If all galaxies are expanding away from one another, as per dark energy, how can we be on a collision course with another distant one?
-
IF GLAXIES ARE FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER,HOW IT CAN COLIDE WITH OUR GLAXY,
-
God is greatest
-
how to find Andromeda in space from the earth . can it see by human eye without telescope
-
the question is... will the earth and living beings survive after the collision?
-
wow
-
the rocket taking off in the intro really looks like a dick and balls for a second. lmfao. sorry I'm immature ik. but it does!!

Watching Einsteins greatest blunder I have an idea for the expanding
universe. Gravity behaves differently inside of galaxies because of the
black hole in its center. Outside of galaxies, there is a natural
repelling of mass away from them which in turn allows for acceleration
based on how much energy each galaxy is producing, which can be slower or
faster depending on the galaxies around each one. Galaxies do collide
but the do in a perpendicular manner usually or a stronger force from
other galaxies it pushing that collision, which is rare, to begin with.
Which means the force of repelling a galaxy gives is on this flat plane,
causing galaxies to form as they do with the spiral effect from
this black hole yet flat in nature. All of the space does not have to
behave exactly the same in relation to the movement of mass with energy
inside of the galaxies, then in un-energized space. Just a theory. :) -
all of us in this comment section will be dead when this happens
-
I can't help but wonder how many civilizations might be alive right now over there, and if any of them are looking at us and wondering when we're gonna crash together.
-
this music on the video scayrs me
-
But how can galaxies collide if everything is moving away from everything else? Am I being dumb?
-
I would suggest that it is highly unlikely that any creature even remotely resembling a human being today will be present on Earth to witness the collision of the Andromeda and our Home Galaxy at such an incomprehensibly vast distant time into the future. We will have by then either become totally extinct or evolved into some completely different life form. Fascinating insight though into the wonders of nature. To think, only a few decades ago we weren't even sure there were stars outside of our own Galaxy. The Universe is big, Very very BIG.

what a waste! could have explained so much in 5 minutes if you cut off some of the illusive talk.
-
It makes me sad to realize that we may never be able to travel that far away, and that there are probably awesome and unique civilizations there that we'll never get to see or meet.

I say mildromeda
-
So when they collide they will lose their disk like form. Will they permanently lose the disk like form and become elliptical, or will it eventually flatten out and become a disk? Enquiring minds want to know
-
At first, I looked at the publishing date (2010), and I thought ... this is an old video ... I wonder what's changed since ..,
Then I thought: OLD? These galaxies will collide in 3 billion years!
Two Billion years before our sun dies ... What life forms will see this remarkable change?
If this video was a million years old, it wouldn't be ... OLD!
