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 100 million years, these galaxies have been locked in a transformative and tumultuous embrace, their attraction reshaping their fate. This cosmic collision will end with the merging of their nuclei forming one colossal elliptical galaxy or the death of one. It is a cosmic Shakespearean love story.
