I wonder if those “dead” galaxies are great places for life to evolve. Stable stars, very little chance of random events destroying your planet. And doing this for billions of years.

[@chri-k]

But a red dwarf produces very little light and heat compared to other types of stars, a planet would have to be pretty close for life to exist, but there is a problem: in the red giant stage, the star destroyed, or pushed away all nearby planets. And if it was a supernova, then everything within [ large distance ] is gone, plus good luck living next to a neutron star. Of course it is possible that a new planet ( that was ejected from its system by some gas giant ) enters the star system. But what are the chances that it happens and the planet is habitable and it’s orbit is close enough to the star. Or more likely a planet that was too far from the star to get destroyed then comes closer to the star, but still. The chances are sub-astronomically low, but still possible.

[@Mephistahpheles]

@@chri-k On the other hand....a billion years is a long time, and our ideas about life are based on the only one case: our own.

[@UteChewb]

@@chri-k, there would have originally been a lot of G class stars so there's a good chance for life evolving. Our sun may only have another 1 - 2 billion years before life on Earth is untenable, but if we still have a functioning civilisation and lived there then I would expect we could migrate to other stars. That is when it gets interesting. What other stars are available? More and more we will have to content ourselves with red dwarf or more likely K class stars, which are much better. In the end I think it would be okay.

The galaxy is not collapsing in itself, nor is it weirdly infrared in color, those would be way better clues.

[@jonbold]

A galactic collision begins with the collision of the plasmas of the two galaxies. They do not have an inertial frame of reference in common and the results will look very tidal. But galaxies can also collide or interact with the invisible plasma from the previous generation of galaxies, with similar results.

[@richardshane456]

1:55 Anton,what some people forget is all this mass is moving at a high rate of speed as a trajectory and if you look closely at the Hubble galaxy pictures you'll see there's a leading and trailing edge of the Galaxy and a spin component that manifest itself as the mass as in a trajectory as in the momentum as in a moving particle of matter causing it to react against the dark matter as a spin with a trailing and leading edge not at the galactic arms but as the galactic edge and center, if you look closely at all galaxies you can see a slight indentation of the mass of matter moving against the dark field which creates the spin Ty

[@Aupheromones]

Could it not be that all of the masses / regions surrounding this one were at one point sufficiently large enough to contain and condense this one, and then suddenly (some time before we began looking at the light coming from the area) that containment ended, and what was a functional atmospheric barrier/bubble of sorts suddenly became a deflating balloon?

The relative voilocity and angle of collision would determine if gases can be captured or simply stripped out into voids, which no longer have any ability to condense with anything.

[@awonderingoneil206]

Hey Anton, since we can only see ghost images of these galaxies wouldn't that mean all our observations are outdated? in fact inaccurate to the current time in said galaxy? To think the Universe I see through my telescope today isn't the one I'll see tomorrow is something of a marvel, seeinh light catching up, only to discover the death of it's sources, knowing that stars and galaxies gradually disappear without anyone noticing as the image updates over vast quantities of time. Incredible.

[@steve-o6413]

Good point, he didn't mention how many Lightyears away it was. It may already have been stripped down naked and mated...

[@Teknokraatti]

It seems to be a rigid aspect of this universe that any information, including visual information, can not travel faster than light speed. Compared to what the galaxy is looking like right now, the light we get is of course outdated, but it's not inaccurate as such. The state we are observing did really exist, just a while back. This is not limited to distant objects, though. While the effect is much less pronounced, the light of Sun has to travel 8 minutes to reach Earth, which means that the sunlight we experience is outdated too.

[@awonderingoneil206]

@@Teknokraatti So effectively a detailed window into the past. So apart from the "local" (Cosmologically speaking) objects in and out of our neighbourhood we are always behind in current events. Makes me think of what other life sees our star system like or how different the Universe will look tomorrow when fresh light reaches us.

[@awonderingoneil206]

@fat earther That would just be confirming time in itself is relative to the observer. These ghost images happened way back, so then it's like watching a movie out of sink. I assume any gravitational effects/Radiation are also from the distant past too unless directly local then?

A greater black hole may be present but they would see some indication of that if we are position correctly to notice it.... I suppose. It could be the galaxy's black hole is dissolving or something may be influencing the shrinkage besides those things. Like what if it got peppered by dark matter that expunged all the "dust" around the galaxy and a galaxy without the dust is just considered or defined as dead to us or it could be a phase that indicate its just matured with many years of sustainability longer than we expect as a "dustless" galaxy...

Looks like something is jetting it out. If two galaxies merged at a certain angle, could the jet of a rather large galactic nucleus cause this? Tumbling of the black hole or maybe black hole pair and the direction of the interstellar wind could explain the uniqueness of the tail.

[@DavidHunter]

I have a really stupid question just popped into my head about how we view galaxies. Given of course that galaxies can be hundreds of thousands of light years wide, that should mean that if we view a galaxy from the side, but looking down on it slightly so we see the full disc from front to back.. it must mean the far away edge of the galaxy we are seeing with a delay that could be something a quarter of a million years delayed compared to the closest edge of the galaxy we see. Now I know galaxies spin incredibly slowly but even then does this cause any warping of how we view these galaxies?

[@robr135]

I don’t like the word ‘dead’ to describe those yellowish galaxies. It seems be, in a more human term, in a menopause state. It can’t make new stars, and has less energy, but it is still there harbouring ancient stars, and black holes. It’s a galaxy in its twilight years.

[@jonbold]

Even a minor brush with another galaxy wrecks all the orbit parameters of all the massive bodies involved, causing them to eventually fall into the black hole, accelerating the renewal process.

[@jimpeters6165]

I know galaxies have supermassive black holes in the middle of them, but is it possible to have a rogue one that’s just all out there by itself?

[@danhnguyen-fn9eb]

It could be the other way around. Instead of ejecting mass perhaps a Pigmy Galaxy got too close and it is being absorbed by this Galaxy. If this Galaxy is a Quasar remnant then chances are the BH at it's center is of the Super Massive variety. Much larger than our own Sag "A" star. The gravitational pull of this Galaxy would be tremendous. Even if Star formation has essentially stopped causing the Galaxy to die it still has gravity.

Maybe instead of calling the ancient galaxies without a lot of turbulence and stellar nurseries as "dead" galaxies, we should refer to them as ""stable" galaxies. And instead of the spiral galaxies being called "active," maybe we should describe them instead as "chaotic" galaxies. It may be that civilizations will have a better chance of a lengthy period of uninterrupted growth without interference from black-hole-driven energy pulses and gravitationally-driven rogue planets.
