Merge

    Will the left star merge the middle star and finally become a very big star?

    Hello 062,
    Those are not stars, but elliptical galaxies; about the merger... it could happen or not; they are at z=0.052 and z=0.053.

    Hi 062 and welcome to the Zoo

    Yes, Astro_Denny is right, both objects are galaxies (consisting of billions of stars) and probably merging !

    Happy hunting !
