overlap v interact
editI don't see how galaxies could overlap without interacting ... meybe this should be merged? -- ProveIt (talk) 16:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- Overlapping galaxies would be galaxies that are in line-of-sight orientation from Earth as being in the same location on the celestial grid. I suppose it'd be nice for amateur star gazers with big scopes to see some nice things... This would be an optical association and not a gravitational association... (like constellations). 132.205.44.134 03:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- apparently, these occulting pairs of galaxies are important in researching dust in galaxies. 76.66.198.171 (talk) 13:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
