Smith's Cloud, it turns out, is on a collision course with the Milky Way. Thirty million years from now, give or take a few million years, it will crash into the Perseus Arm of our galaxy. The impact will compress clouds of gas in that spiral arm, causing a brilliant burst of star formation.

Not going to collide for 30 million years. I'll be too old to care by then.

And what will happen to the Earth? Inquiring people want to know. Perhaps our descendants will have moved to another galaxy if the collision was to have destroyed the Earth. Not likely human being will exist 30 million years from now. And if they did, no telling what they would look like.

It'll be here before you know it.
