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.
