Phase Five: The two galaxies will settle down and form one elliptical galaxy. Any evidence of the two spiral galaxies that formed the new elliptical galaxy will be gone.
Chances are humanity will be long gone, and any future astronomers gazing at the new galaxy will have no idea that we were once here, looking out at the universe and striving to understand it. Back in the s, a Swedish astronomer wondered what would happen if galaxies collided.
His name was Erik Holmberg , and he constructed an analog computer with light bulbs to simulate galactic encounters. Based on his work, he predicted that galaxies could indeed collide, and that eventually their mutual gravity would slow them down and they would merge into one. Mostly, he was ignored, or his idea was snubbed.
The idea seemed far-fetched, and his light-bulb computer seemed a fanciful invention. Eventually, the idea gained traction and better telescopes caught these galaxies in the act.
