Far into the universe a stange thing is happening, two galaxies are combining. NGC 2623 seems to be in the final stages and very soon it could become one. It is about 300 million light years away so it has probably already happen and we have yet to see it but soon the fates of the galaxies will be revealed. The cause of the two colliding is likely a very large black hole that is sucking them into each other. In the picture you can see the thousands of stars and the dust as well as the nebulus clouds. Never have we witnessed such an event and many astronomers are excited to see the outcome.
Many strange things always happen in the universe, and these strange things are always so interesting.
