Galaxy Transformations
written by Joshua E. Barnes
This web page has descriptions and animations from numerical simulations of colliding galaxies. Normal observation shows interacting galaxies apparently frozen in the midst of billion-year-long collisions. These movies transcend a limited view of time by indicating the past and future of such encounters. The web page examines interactions between galaxies, paths of different orbits, and theories of structure.
