Horizontally-oriented image of two massive galaxies colliding in deep space.
This horizontally-oriented public domain photo is from GRIN, the Great Images In NASA Collection, within the NASA image archive.
Captured in this image is the collision of two large spiral galaxies. The larger of the two galaxies is powerfully distorting the smaller and causing it to shoot out large tendrils of gas and star matter. The NASA website notes that this particular celestial contact is not a head-on collision but a grazing that will alter the trajectory of these giants such that later orbits will cause further damage, and eventually a convergence.
This public domain photo of a deep space collision would make a wonderful addition to any space collage, background image, or wallpaper. If you are in the illustration fields this might be a great canvas from which to develop a work.
This image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope – NASA. NASA is an Agency of the United States Government, therefore this image is in the public domain.

his is an interesting and awesome picture of two galaxies. who brought this rare event in their camera.This is not a head-on collision as said by NASA. These look dark as though two eyes are watching. The two galaxies look bright yellow in color. Around these two balls of fires, some wave like structures which look like red is seen. God is so good and powerful to having created such beautiful images to float in the space.

A Gallaxy is defined as a mass of bound system which is bonded by gravitational force which consist of stars, interstellar matters, planets, dusts, moons, etc. in several hundred numbers. Collision of these gallaxies can happen in several lakhs of years.
The above Image is about two galaxies colliding naturally. This mainly occurs due to gravitational force, escaping away from the orbit etc.. As the result, a new evolutionary creatures are formed. Its physical collision can radiate enormous energy internally and externally as well, which includes light emission and sound emission etc..Thereby many stars and planets are also changing their course of regularity. The emission of light is due to the only collision. A nuclear fusion is the responsible factor for such glow. a series and a cycle of revolution can make the evolution. A beautiful Image formed colorfully seems like two chains lying closer surrounded by a series of gems and glitters.If this happens to our solar system, then we will be replaced by some other evolutionary creatures. Life is always uncertain. Ha ha ha. the future prediction about our solar system says that, in 1 billion years earth will start shifting away due to the gradual increase in the temperature of the sun, which will end all the terrestrial life of earth.
