Description
Apo Art... Andromeda–Milky Way futur collision
While the Andromeda Galaxy contains about one trillion stars and the Milky Way contains about three hundred billion; the chance of even two stars colliding is negligible because of the huge distances between each star. For example, the nearest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, about 3x107 solar diameters (4x1013 km or 4.2 ly) away. If the Sun were a ping-pong ball in Paris, the equivalent Proxima Centauri would be a pea-sized ball in Berlin (and our galaxy would be about 1.9x107 km wide, about a third of the distance to Mars).
Stars are much denser near the centres of each galaxy, the average separation is only 1.6x1011 km. But that is still a density which represents one ping-pong ball every 3.2 km. Thus, it is extremely unlikely that any two stars may collide.

La collision entre Andromède et la Voie lactée est une prédiction de collision de galaxies qui pourrait se produire dans approximativement 3 milliards d'années, entre les deux plus grandes galaxies du Groupe local, la Voie lactée (qui contient la Terre) et la galaxie d'Andromède

this is beautiful!
This is spectacular.
Fantastic..very beautiful!!
Wow ! C'est somptueux !
Stunning composition! Wonderful lighting and colours! :)
This is stunning, especially in full view!
Fantastic image Magik. Excellent discussion about star collisions as well. The vastness of space is hard to comprehend from our limited experience here.
am in awe...8)
Very beautiful, Magik!
superbe travail !!!! le titre est bien trouvé
excellent filligrane fractal creation, wonderful colors, looks great!!
A spectacular image, Real! I understand that when two galaxies 'collide' it is hardly noticeable to any inhabitants due to the vast distances between stars. It would take many lifetimes for the galaxies to pass through each other.
amazing love it..:)
awesome result, wow!!!
Beautiful flamework.
Wonderful fractal work! Splendid colors!
Superb fractal artwork Magik, love it.
