The story of the Antennae Galaxies can be beautifully likened to the mythical love story of Orpheus and Eurydice-a love that transcends the boundaries of life and death but is fraught with longing and inevitable loss. For the past few hundred million years, these galaxies have been locked in a transformative and tumultuous embrace, their attraction ultimately reshaping their fate. This cosmic collision will end with the merging of their nuclei, forming one colossal elliptical galaxy. It is a tale both passionate and tragic-a true Shakespearean love story, of an attraction that will destroy one universe while simultaneously creating another.
