Yes But this one is special because, they are opposing spirals..one on the inside appears to be spinning in the opposite direction to the outer one.
And the outer arms are spinning backwards to the usual galaxy forms we see.
And the galaxy is collecting new stars in the outer arms...makes this galaxy specail...
What Kind of gravity can hold to opposing galaxies together, and spin them in this way goes beyond what is on paper.
I'd like to sayGod is showing us what he can do...backwards and forwards.

Something in the Bible about the dragon taking out 1/3rd of the stars from heaven....makes me go hmmmm.

I do you mean forming? Galaxies don't exactly collect stars.

Gravity is gravity. Plus they haven't exactly merged. "Appears" is the keyword here. It's more likely one is passing though the other and not that one is actually imbedded in the other. Keep in mind these are huge distances were talking about here. When one passes though another no stars will collide only the gas and dust (which will cause the galaxies to "collect" new stars.

I donâ??t know what dragon youâ??re talking about or what you are even talking about here.

If you look at enough galaxies (There are an infinite amount of them) you'll usally find one that will show you something new.

12:3 Then another portant appeared in heaven: a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his head. 12:4 his tail swept down a thirdof the stars of heaven and threw them to the Earth. then the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, so that he might devour her child as soon as was born !2:5and she Gave Birth to a Son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of Iron.
But her child was snatched away and taken to God and his throne;


A red dragon...Red =in opposition, or under friction, presure, against the grain.

dragon= the liar, two faced, deceptive, contraie, opposite the common, backwards.

Now you know another mythology.
