Yes, gravitationally, and the result appears as an enormous iconic heart — at least for now. Pictured is the pair of galaxies cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039,known as the Antennae Galaxies. Because they are only 60 million light years away, close by intergalactic standards, the pair is one of the best studied interacting galaxies on the night…

The Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars, are slowly approaching each other due to gravitational pull. In about 4.5 billion years, they will begin to collide, but the process will take billions of years to complete. During the merger, stars and planets are unlikely to collide because of the immense distances between them. Instead, gravity will warp their structures, creating spectacular tidal tails and new star-forming regions. Image Credit and…

Image of the irregular galaxy NGC 1741. It is located 184 million light years away in the constellation of Eridanus. The galaxy was formed from the interaction of two other galaxies, PGC 16570 (top), and PGC 16574 (bottom). The galaxy is a starburst galaxy, and is classed as a Wolf-Rayet galaxy as it contains a large amount of rare Wolf-Rayet stars.
