No, just really active black holes produce jets.
2. There could be faint remnants of the jets beyond the galaxies, but they would be hard to see.
3. Possibly, but I’d have to look at more details to know for sure.

2. What happened to the jets of the two intercepting galaxies?
3. Are the jets not visible in this picture due to wrong viewing frequrncy?

If we were in the midst of a galactic collision, it would seem very much like things are now.

Does it take millions of years, or is it fast? Prompted by some fun questions on Science Friday last week.

Would these newly formed stars have enough velocity to escape the gravitation of the progenitor galaxy?
