Astronomical evidence
Mutual gravity can stretch galaxies into tidal tails and bridges while compressing gas into star-forming regions. The Antennae provide an observed example of this process; direct collisions between individual stars are much rarer than encounters between gas clouds. [1] This scene uses an invented external viewpoint to show two distinct nuclei and connected distorted arms.
The illustrated viewpoint
Silver-skinned humanoid with swept cranial ridges in rear three-quarter cross-legged meditation, hands held before the lower abdomen. Solid granite overlook among rugged mountains and deep glacial valleys. Eshara and its inhabitants are invented. The Antennae are a morphological reference, not a host assignment or a reconstruction of their present appearance. A galaxy pair spanning roughly 100,000 light-years at 150,000 light-years would span about 37 degrees; those are illustrative scale choices, not measured parameters for this world. Diffuse galaxy detail is presented with long-exposure photographic sensitivity; moving closer does not by itself increase surface brightness.

Fictional planetary viewpoint
No confirmed planet or host star is assigned to this landscape. The named astronomical object or physical phenomenon supplies the scientific reference; the local world and viewing position are invented. This image remains outside the real exoplanet host map.
