a much larger galaxy

Answer 1

The two correct answers are:

• a nearby galaxy
• a much larger galaxy

Small galaxies are often more likely to merge with nearby galaxies, which could be either similar-sized or larger, due to gravitational interactions. Merging with a much larger galaxy is also common, as smaller galaxies can be captured by the gravitational pull of larger ones.

Answer 2

yup, the gpt bot is correct. the other answers to unit 5 lesson 4 galaxy evolution are below for my fellow connexus students

> gravity acts on existing material, shaping it into a new form
which characteristics are considered most typical of an old galaxy in decline?
> low gas content, little star formation

gl out there, gang.
