I claim ownership of it ... I can sell it for you for $10 bucks! If you ask me that's a cosmic deal of eternity ... LOL 

Do you deliver?

To organize and study all of these galaxies, astronomers usually group them into 3 main types, depending on their shape.

There are spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies.

 

Spiral galaxies are in the shape of a pinwheel.

 

They have that shape because stars in a spiral galaxy are clumped into lines that curl outward.

These lines are called the spiral arms.

And the galaxy that you and I are in right now -- The Milky Way galaxy -- is a spiral

It's fascinating that when we come to talking about the universe, we start talking of distance in terms of time. We use words like light-years, parsecs, kiloparsecs, gigaparsecs, yottaparsecs, ronnaparsecs and finally quettaparsecs. A parsec is c. 3.26 light-years. A quettaparsec is 10^{30 parsecs}

I love mind blowing facts like this. And to think “The Bible says that Jehovah stretches out “the heavens” as if they were mere cloth. (Psalm 104:2).” I am awe-struck by Jehovah’s power, and his many other qualities, too!

If I’m right, when galaxies collide, not one star hit another star. Talking about serious mathematics here.

The odds are you are correct.  However, some of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy could end up orbiting the center of the Andromeda galaxy as the two galaxies continue on their way.  (EDIT:  And vice versa.)

 

It is amazing how many times 2 black holes have collided.  That would seem to be a rare event, but it has happened several times.

2 galaxies on a colliding trajectory are a bit like throwing 2 buckets of sand at each other, from a million miles away.

All the grains of sand become a dustcloud and when they cross each other over time, changes a particle of dust hits another directly are low.

Grains of sand lacking the gravity on this scale will keep moving. For the 2 galaxies offcourse gravity forces them to become a new system or fly "through" each other depending on mass and speed etc

One of the questions that gets asked is 'what is beyond the edge of the universe?', but perhaps a more important question would be 'what is beyond the edge of the spirit realm?'. The answer to this question is far more revealing.

There would not be any edge there either, as far as we can imagine "space" in a non physical world

Interacting galaxies, also known as colliding galaxies, are two or more galaxies whose gravitational fields result in a disturbance of one another. There are several types of galactic interactions, including major interactions, minor interactions, and galaxy harassment. Major interactions occur between galaxies with similar amounts of mass, whereas minor interactions involve galaxies with masses that vary significantly.^[1] An example of a minor interaction is a satellite galaxy disturbing the primary galaxy's spiral arms. An example of a major interaction is a galactic collision, such as the one that astronomers estimate will happen in the future between the Milky Way and Andromeda.^[2] Collisions may lead to galaxy mergers and may also lead to other phenomena such as star formation^[3] and black hole activity^[4].

It's a good point, David. The spirit realm is seen to be an eternal spiritual environment, containing the physical environment.
