For Always Will
There are those among us
Who would pull your wings from you
Just to watch you fall
They have been here ForeGalactic Collision
Interacting Galaxy'sWho would pull your wings from you

An Individual galaxy whose gravitational field disturbs another galaxy
NGC 3169 (left) and NGC 3166 (right) display some curious features, demonstrating that each member of the duo is close enough to feel the distorting gravitational influence of the other. Image from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory.
Interacting galaxies (colliding galaxies) are galaxies whose gravitational fields result in a disturbance of one another. An example of a minor interaction is a satellite galaxy's disturbing the primary galaxy's spiral arms. An example of a major interaction is a galactic collision, which may lead to a galaxy merger.
