"Hubble Telescope Captures Massive 'Bridge of Stars' Linking Colliding Galaxies"

The Hubble Space Telescope captured a striking image of a "bridge of stars" connecting two galaxies in a galactic grouping, hinting at the potential fate of our own Milky Way when it collides with the Andromeda galaxy in 4 billion years. The image showcases the gravitational interaction between galaxies, leading to the formation of a streamer of stars and eventual collision and merger. This observation provides astronomers with insights into the future of our galaxy and the potential impact on the solar system.
