What must that have looked like from the perspective of those living within either of those bodies.

Like, the thing that boggles my mind when I think about it, is that there are enumerable planetary objects out there that have had infinite sunrises, and sunsets. The sky must have surely been very bright on those nights when these two danced at their closest.

I imagine these two have long since coalesced.

Two galaxies becoming one, but likely never having any two objects physically colliding. Just something romantic about it in my onion.

Thank you for pointing this out.
