what if (on colliding galaxies)

`Scott Very nice post I agree with it I never started this post with
the meaning that stars had to hit one another,for that has to be a very
rare event. Since I am always bringing in gravity to evolve all that is
I have to consider these two galaxies have massive black holes and that
could be the big rub. All my pictures in my universe picture scrape book
were taken by the Hubble. I know shock wave is used to describe the
aftermath of a supernova explosion but looking at the Cartwheel galaxy
that word shock wave jumped into my mind. Scott what would have been a
better word? The right terminology can be tricky. I find
galaxies colliding very interesting. With billions and billions of large
galaxies it can not be all that rare. If you have more information on
them please post. Your virtual friend Bert PS good reason for us
being friends Scott is we both love astronomy Right Painius


Might recommend a book I have been reading called "What if the Moon
Didn't Exist" by Neil F. Comins. It deals with quite a few "What ifs",
not just the one that is the title of the book. One of those is what
would happen if a massive star came close to us (which would address one
of the pieces of thread attached to this one). Obviously, this scenario
would apply to a star in our galaxy coming close to us or a star from
another galaxy passing through our own coming close to us (this latter
scenario being a more likely scenario than the former). I would provide
more details but I recently brought most of my reference material from
my office to my house and it is boxed up either in my garage or my den.
But, I think if all of the commentators of this thread could hunt down
a copy, we would collectively be in a position to address some of the
questions this thread has read.

Since we see M31 nearly edge on, it is quite likely, barring some
external force to rotate it, to hit us nearly edge on. Find an image of
the entire Milky Way (the band, not the galaxy) and locate within that
image Andromeda and the angle it makes with the plain of our galaxy.
That may give you some idea of the angle of "attack" we may be subjected to.

Shouldn't we be using pulsar gamma shift as our red-shift or blue-
shift logic analogy?

Scott What ifs have to be the best term for starting up ideas on the
universe events that we can not see,but give our brains a chance to
imagine(day dream about) Such as the size and density of a star coming
to close to our solar system could create havoc. Reality is have done
very little reading lately.but5 will try to read that book since it was
recommended by you. Bert

Scott angle of attack of one galaxy hitting another makes for great
interest,and great pictures taken by the Hubble. As I am typing this I
am looking at NGC 2207 colliding with a much smaller galaxy IC 2163. I
see both galaxies head on. I can see gas ripped from the smaller
galaxy,and stretched into a long stream of celestial stuff. Well Scott
glad you are back That poster that claimed he liked out posts when we
argued over the years might not like us in agreement as much,but your
disagreeing with me was much fun. It never ever stopped me from having
great respect for your knowledge Bert

The two galaxies aren't oriented face on, BEERTbrain! lmao!

Do your own research like Paine does!

Define tidal radius first, BradBoi! lmfjao!

face on that will create a shockwave(for lack of a better word) Bert

Is there any chance of a retrograde encounter?

If so, what's the worse case of closing velocity?

What's the combined or mutual tidal radius of Andromeda and Milky Way?

Aw, poor BradBoi! lmfjao!

The Zionist/Nazis and their brown-nosed rabbi like Saul don't require
reason.

The color doesn't change, BEERTbrain, it's the lines in the spectra
which shift more and more to the red.

It's NOT a color change.

Glazier, I'm not certain what you're trying to accomplish by calling me
"Timberhead" and giving me flawed explanations of basic concepts of
astronomy. I've been reading about astronomy since I was a little boy; I
did a summer university program in astronomy between my junior and
senior years in high school; I took honors astronomy courses in college.
I think you'd be safe to assume that I know a lot more about astronomy
than the average layman. I certainly have enough Google Fu to look up
any new concepts and ideas I read about. This may be new and exciting to
you, but please don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs.
