Galactic Battle is Taking Forever

NASA has released a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope, that shows 2 galaxies smashing into each other! Actually, they’ve been merging for a long time. Astronomer William Herschel first spotted the galaxies in 1784, thinking it was a single oddly-shaped one. Our own Milky Way galaxy, will collide with the Andromeda galaxy, in 4,000,000,000 years!
