I’ve read theory that these two galaxies could pass through each other with not collisions of any kind, of course no one will be able kind to confirm that😀

Actual collisions of stellar masses are extremely unlikely given the very low densities of both galaxies. With high relative velocities, probably even more unlikely a passing pair of stellar masses would be pulled into a degrading binary orbit that might lead to a collision.

What’s extremely likely to happen is existing binary and greater multiple systems being pulled apart, and many stellar masses (as in, billions) being slingshotted into different galactic orbits, or with enough velocity into intergalactic space.

Has Al Gore or the Obama’s bought a mansion near the edge of the galaxy?
