Through the analysis of new images taken deep into the universe by the most modern methods, Yale Professor Professor Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University (USA) has discovered several intergalactic collisions in the universe. .

According to GS. Pieter van Dokkum, more than half of the largest galaxies in the cosmos near the Milky Way have collided and merged with other galaxies to become larger galaxies over the past 2 billion years.

Using observation devices capable of covering a cosmic region 50 times larger than the space when the Moon is full and 5,000 times larger than the space that the Hubble space telescope can observe , the results show that galaxies collided with each other and the process of merging these galaxies is happening in the universe.

Further studies on the formation of new galaxies will shed light on the role of black holes in galaxy formation and development.

The galaxy is a collection of hundreds of billions of different stars intermingling with a rotating rotating gas (a black hole, assumed to be a black hole). The average diameter of 1,500 to 300,000 light years. In the form of flattened discs, galaxies have different shapes such as spiral galaxies or ellipse. The area near the center of the galaxy has the highest density of stars.
