WE'RE SO DEAD!

THE MILKY WAY AND THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE....NOW THIS:

Quote:

It's a cosmic pileup in the far reaches of the universe and nothing like it has ever been seen before.
Using the most powerful telescopes on Earth, astronomers have spotted 14 burning-hot galaxies hurtling toward each other on an inevitable galactic collision course at the edge of the observable universe. Computer models show that when these galaxies do collide they will form the core of a colossal galaxy cluster so large it will be the most massive structure known in the cosmos. This chaotic, energy-filled region, described Wednesday in Nature, is called a protocluster, and researchers say it is more active than any other section of the universe they have ever observed.

"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......

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...

If everything else fails to kill us, the Sun will be hot enough to finish the job in about 1 billion years.

I blame Kathleen Kennedy. She has destroyed the Universe.

I'm moving to Prescott AZ

... Duluth MN's too cold

when our own galaxy's as yet undiscovered

black hole starts doing this as in Neighboring Centaurus 4's (a mere 13 light years away) black hole:

that gas jet is thousands of light years long! Here's a close-up from the Event Horizon scope

Funny how nuthin viewed at taxpayer expense from repaired Hubble or Event Horizon optics ever bodes well for humans, blue whales or endangered elephants...

This is the thing I fear most when I am out biking; a hot blonde in a large black SUV, talking and texting on her cellphone. She'll run you over quicker than you can say dead
