The above image shows NBC 2623. While it may look like one spiral galaxy, it is actually two galaxies colliding. These galaxies have almost finished merging. This is similar to what may happen to our milky way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy, far in the future. While it's certainly not a concern anytime soon, it is interesting to see a preview of what may happen to our galaxy in the future.
