A movie of two colliding galaxies based on new computer simulations from astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics. The simulations covers 3.3 billion years. The galaxies eventually merge, destroying many of the stellar clusters (visible here as dots) in the process. Credit: D. Kruijssen, MPA
