Illustration showing the merging of two small galaxies into a larger one. The sequence begins with two spiral galaxies. As they approach each other, tidal forces come into play which begin to distort the galaxies and pull streamers of stars away from them. Over time, the cores of the two galaxies merge, while the streamers get pulled back in to form a larger, elliptical galaxy. Stock Photo

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the massive elliptical galaxy Messier 60 (also called M60, or NGC 4649). M60 is 120 million light-years across and contains an estimated 400 billion stars. Highlighted in the inset is the dwarf galaxy M60-UDC1 which orbits the giant elliptical. Lying about 50 million light-years away, M60-UCD1 is a tiny galaxy with a diameter of 300 light-years — just 1/500th of the diameter of the Milky Way! Despite its size it is pretty crowded, containing some 140 million stars. The dwarf galaxy may actually be the stripped remnant of a larger galaxy that was Stock Photo

RFCBKFMX–M31, The Andromeda Galaxy.

Hubble Sees Stellar Glitter in a Cosmic Void Unlike a spiral or elliptical galaxy, the galaxy KK 246 looks like glitter spilled across a black velvet sheet. KK 246, also known as ESO 461-036, is a dwarf irregular galaxy residing within the Local Void, a vast region of empty space. This lonely galaxy is the only one known for certain to reside in this enormous volume, along with 15 others that have been tentatively identified. Although the picture appears to be full of galaxies, they are actually beyond this void, and instead form part of other galaxy groups or clusters. Cosmic voids, such as Stock Photo

Space. 20th Dec, 2023. The billion stars in galaxy UGC 8091 resemble a sparkling snow globe in this festive Hubble Space Telescope image from NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). The dwarf galaxy is approximately 7 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. It is considered an ''irregular galaxy'' because it does not have an orderly spiral or elliptical appearance. Instead, the stars that make up this celestial gathering look more like a brightly shining tangle of string lights than a galaxy. (Credit Image: © NASA/Hubble/ZUMA Press Wire) EDITORIAL USAGE ONLY!

RF2R401R4–Messier 31, the Andromeda Galaxy.

This image of the elliptical galaxy NGC 1132 combines an image from NASA's /Chandra X-Ray Observatory/ obtained in 2004 with images from the /Hubble Space Telescope/ made in 2005 and 2006 in green and near-infrared light. The blue/purple in the image is the X-ray glow from hot, diffuse gas. The giant foreground galaxy, numerous dwarf galaxies in its neighborhood, and many much more distant galaxies in the background are seen in visible light. Object Name: NGC 1132 Image Type: Astronomical Credit: NASA, ESA, M. West (ESO, Chile), and CXC/Penn State University/G. Garmire, et al. Stock Photo
