Triple galaxy collision <Amazing!>

This is the most amazing sample yet for me. Looks like 3 galaxies interacting but I believe the top collection of light, because it is quiet faded may very well just be a huge chunk of stars from one of the original two colliding galaxies. Check out the tidal forces just flinging enormous amounts of material in a high arc 5 times away from the size of the host galaxies. And to have a partial glow of some huge red giant star caught in the upper right corner can only add to the beauty of this shot...

Wonderful isn't it! 😃
That it's an Illustris sim makes it even more fascinating ...
