"they will form the core of a colossal galaxy cluster so large it will be the most massive structure known in the cosmos."
Sounds like US Twitter politics...... |
We're all gonna die a horrible death!!

Call that news!
Boring.....:yawn: :zzz: |
M31 is moving toward the Milky Way at about 250,000 miles per hour. At that speed we could reach the moon in an hour. This series of photo illustrations shows the predicted merger between the Milky Way and Andromeda as seen from Earth. The first frame is the present day; the last frame is 75 years from now.

So ffs HOW LONG HAVE WE GOT?
|
Hard to tell as time is not absolute but is relative to one's position in the universe. I would have say soon™, or, maybe later.

You were wrong about Mt Mannen... why should we listen to you now?

Have faith in your authorities.
They will build huge spaceship where you can have a seat or a room for only 1 billion Euros. Markus |

If and when this happens there may not even be people on Earth. We may be extinct. Stephen Hawking recommended before his death that humanity's best chance would be to spread out to neighboring stars.
Colliding galaxies are nothing to worry about though because the distance between stars is so large, when galaxies collide not many stars even pass close to stars in oncoming galaxies. Recently there was a correction to the estimated size of the Andromeda galaxy (our first collision) by over a factor of 10+. Turns out that our Milky Way will absorb Andromeda and not even burp. It would be a beautiful sight to see approaching in the night sky; the two galaxies in the shape of an X before they merge however who or what will see it all those millions of years in the future? I'd like to but for obvious reasons that's impossible. I'll be long dead.... lol |
So, I guess, you're a glass half-empty sort of person...

The 14 galaxies at the edge of the observable universe may have already collided. Given that the diameter of the observable universe is 93 billion light years, the light from those galaxies has taken about 46.5 billion years to reach us.
It always amazes me that we can look so far into the past by simply looking up. And that a few photons traveled unimaginable distances over billions or trillions of years, just to hit my retina. |
