Should be called the Phantom of the Opera galaxy.

I wonder if this is how elliptical galaxies are formed.

What if they are not colliding but just passing in front of one another?..............

What if it is a road rage incident between a VW Beetle galaxy and a Ford F350 galaxy?

I hope so. Spiral galaxies are impossible to untangle.

It is in fact. Giant ellipticals are the result of merging large spirals. And large spirals are thought to be the result of merging dwarf spirals and ellipticals, and least until JWST came along and started messing up all the theories.

I consulted briefly on the JWST on an issue they had, but don’t blame these collisions on me.

When I read the title of this thread, I first thought it said “Webster Hubble,” not “Webb and Hubble.” (LOL)

When I read the title of this thread, I first thought it said “Webster Hubble,” not “Webb and Hubble.” (LOL) Or, how was the Chelsea galaxy formed?

"What if it is a road rage incident between a VW Beetle galaxy and a Ford F350 galaxy" I am certain the aggrieved galaxy can call the Galactic offices of George Sink at all 9's.
