The collision of the galaxy is 80 million light-years from Earth

The team combined photographs from many different devices to observe two colliding spiral galaxies.

Scientists recorded the collision between two spiral galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 , UPI on April 23 reported. The collision will continue for several million years. During this time, gravity changes the spiral structure of the galaxy gradually.

Two spiral galaxies collide.

The collision took place about 80 million light years from Earth. The larger galaxy called NGC 2207 is classified as an intermediate. The smaller galaxy, IC 2163, is a horizontal spiral galaxy.

The team of scientists combined the observed image at different wavelengths to create a collision video. Different wavelengths show different structures, colors and characteristics.

Images in the light visible by the naked eye due to recording. Meanwhile, infrared images taken by Spitzer space telescopes show the light of dust structures inside NGC 2207 and IC 2163. Photographs from Chandra X-ray Observatory show the star-forming region in the center of the two spiral galaxies.

"Stars are too far apart to collide, but the matter between them will combine and create high-density gas clusters. The gas clusters will be affected by gravity, thus enabling many new stars form , "the team said.
