There is no collision... just alignment
The two galaxies in this image only appear to be colliding—they are separated by tens of millions of light-years, about 10 times the distance between the Milky Way and Andromeda. Further proof there’s no cosmic collision: The motion of the two galaxies indicates that they are relatively undisturbed and moving in vastly different directions.

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
