When galaxies collide, the most likely outcome is that galaxies merge. While the interactions can significantly alter the structure and distribution of stars and gas, galaxies do not typically disappear or destroy all their stars. They also do not triple in size as a direct result of a collision. Instead, they may form new structures, new stars, and become larger by merging.
