Stars colliding

WASTED on Instagram: "The Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 and NGC 4039) collided gravitationally, forming a vast heart-like shape visible in space. Located 60 million light years away, they have been merging for a billion years, triggering star formation through colliding interstellar gases. Their iconic antennae structures and cosmic dance are expected to continue for another billion years."

New simulations suggest that when two stars collide, the resulting product can be extremely magnetic, and it may ultimately wind up as a magnetar.

These two neutron stars collided so are they a black hole now?
