DMNS+Field+Trip+21

At the DMNS field trip I was awed while we watched the short movie about the universe. I'd think it was the best part about the whole trip, even though there was a lot of other cool things! I learned that in 1994 two galaxies collided and made a supernova. It could be seen all the way from earth, the crash was 98 million light years away. Also, scientists predict that in the future our home galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with another galaxy. The weird thing is, there won't be any huge explosions if you were looking at the colliding galaxies. Instead, scientists think the stars will go past each other seeing as they are so far apart. Another fact I learned is that there are stars that don't belong to a galaxy, they usually are in clusters, and roam the universe within each other's gravitational pull.
