#2 galaxy NGC 7318b crashed into a debris field and compressed plasma and gas

About as big of a crash as Disney's handling of Star Wars.

#4 It was noted that the "egg" and "penguin" have been approaching each other for tens of millions of years and will eventually merge into one galaxy.

Great. Not only do we have to deal with globalists, we now have to consider or deal with merging galaxies and one or more universes. Universalists? The New Galaxies Order?

How long ago did the the illuminating light originate from space that allowed this observation? Has the show ended long ago? My frail brain never really did grasp astrophysics.
