According to science there are an estimated 170 billion galaxies. HAHAhahhahahahhhaaa. That is so ridiculous even Hubble is laughing! The best is that in a so called ever expanding universe of galaxies (think about it the big bang explosion expanding how could galaxies still collide like ours predicted to one day collide with Andromeda galaxy when they are expanding away from each other after that big bang (theory)) that galaxies could collide. Impossible, to quote Charlie Sheen and yes, i am a Sheen fan. We are going to rid th world of fake AIDS and the garbage that says there are roughly 200 billion galaxies. In any case, viagra scientists now claim that there is a galaxy that is rectangular after two spiral galaxies collided to form a rectangle galaxy. Get off the drugs China.
Rare Rectangle Galaxy Discovered

An explanation how galaxies collide in an expanding universe.

A few hundred years ago, people were saying, "I can't wait till we put away this so-called science that says the earth revolves around the sun. It's obvious that the sun goes around the earth. Anything else is impossible." Hence my tagline.

I wonder how long a day is on Pluto? Also, without having read the article yet, I'm assuming that one galaxy is behind another and for whatever combination of reasons, expands and accelerates to catch up with the other just in front of it. Or one changes it's 'trajectory' (maybe there are a series of massive collapses of a group of super-black holes in it's center that causes other changes) to move toward a nearby galaxy.

A day on

Mercury - 58 and a half Terran days
Venus - 243 Terran days
Earth - 1 Terran day (of course)
Mars - 25 Terran hours. Real close to us, and enhances it as a possible place to explore
Jupiter - 10 Terran hours. My, that big planet spins fast
Saturn - 11 Terran hours. It's a speed demon too
Uranus - 17 Terran hours
Neptune - 16 Terran hours
Pluto - 6 and a half (rounded up) Terran days

Scientists may have discovered a new ninth planet.

It's currently being called Planet 9 or Planet X, and the discovery was made by the same astronomers who downgraded Pluto to "dwarf planet" status.

The new planet is estimated to be ten times the mass of Earth, with a lengthy orbital period between 10,000 and 20,000 (Earth)years. It has not yet been viewed through a telescope. All evidence of its existence has been based on mathematical models and observations of icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune.

Yup, and before we say, "No one's seen it," remember that Neptune and Pluto were both predicted, based on observations of gravitational influence, before they were actually discovered.
