Beautiful Galactic Merger Movie
A computer simulation of two galaxies presented by the American Museum of Natural History is simply stunning.
Here it is. [There was one error I noticed. Care to guess it?  ]

George. They included the orbit of Pluto as part of the solar system at ~ 30 degrees, and Pluto doesn't count anymore. ? Pete

 I will send this on to the Bad Heliochromology in Media thread, once one is established. Hmmmm, maybe it's time. I wonder how much graphical storage this website can handle?I used the "high" quality setting with no problems. Anyone else having troubles with the video?

The heliochromology answer has won the cigar. Looking at it again, I wonder why the put in the green star? Is there a sense-of-humor embedded in this video? The $100 question, or tank of gas, is... where is the Sun at the end of the merger with Andromeda?  [The shell came just got a bit more complicated. ]

I´ve got the impression that the simulation does not take into account the effects of dark matter on the galaxies' rotation. Also, it suggests that there is a large amount of stellar systems in the intergalactic medium, ejected as a result of these collisions.
