The crash also would not occur spontaneously but would take several billion years to run its course. During this processes, molecular hydrogen clouds will compress and explode, forming thousands of new star clusters. The gravitational pull between the two galaxies would cause them to form an elliptical galaxy with many new stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** Lee, Mark.
