View a tug-of-war between the expansion of the universe and the pull of gravity, where galaxies are caught in the middle. Gravity can cause some galaxies to collide, leaving them scarred and tattered. Others inflict glancing blows that form long tails of debris. Some even merge, radically altering the appearance of the original galaxies. This video series highlights colliding galaxies in relation to the predicted merger between our own Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy.
