When Galaxies Collide

This is a very interesting video about Galaxy collision. Astronomers have been always very interested and have been studing Galaxies; nowdays it's easier with current telescopes.
In this video we have the explanation about how a small near Galaxy named M82 collides with it's neighbor, a bigger Galaxy named M81. They can see little remnants that M82 left, it doesn't have tha same bright concentration of a normal Galaxy, it has very peculiar colors and all this seem to be type of a collision.
In Galaxy collisions the smallest detale can help to discover when hapened the collide. Gases keep crashing with other gases and astronomers think that this is how all Galaxies were formed. A lot of things like this keep hapening in the universe and M82 is only one little example of this.
Milky Way Galaxy maybe crashed and collide with other Galaxies in the distance past and M82 and M81 explanation can help us to understand how were formed the Galaxy we're living today.
