We can see near perfect symmetry with its tightly-wound spiral arms that widen as they whorl outward from the galaxy’s bright core. These arms canb be seen fading and dissipating until they disappear into the seemingly black void that is known as intergalactic space, bringing an eventful end to their starry splendor.

These coalescing events scramble the winding structures of the original galaxies, smoothing and rounding their shape. These objects possess a beauty all their own, distinct from the spiral galaxies from whence they came,” said the ESA.
