As the simulation progresses, the galaxies merge into one titanic elliptical galaxy surrounded by a halo of galaxies, stars and dust. This configuration resembles that of galaxy clusters seen in the modern universe. Credit D. Rennehan, A. Babul & B. Moa (University of Victoria); C. Hayward (Flatiron Institute); S.
