As galaxies collide, their gravitational forces cause stars, gas, and dust to interact with each other leading to distortion of shapes.
The intense pressure and gas compression can trigger rapid star formation, leading to bursts of new stars.
The central supermassive black holes of each galaxy may collide, creating intense energy forming an even larger black hole.
The merger redistributes gas and dust, which can lead to the formation of new structures like spiral arms or elliptical galaxies.
Collisions generate shock waves that can compress gas clouds, heating them and potentially igniting the formation of new star.
Galactic mergers play a key role in the evolution of the universe, driving the growth of larger galaxies and the overall structure of the cosmos.
