Such galaxy collisions are also thought to be a crucial part of how galaxies grew in the early Universe; the Milky Way is thought to have undergone multiple such mergers.

What happens when two rare ring galaxies collide? They form an infinity symbol—or the face of a cosmic owl, depending on how you look at it. The James Webb Space Telescope has helped two ...

“While such collisions are rare events, similarly extreme gas densities are thought to have been quite common at early cosmic epochs, when galaxies began forming,” he added. Van Dokkum and his ...
