Damn! Do we have time to pack a few things? =;-)
It’s coming at 66 miles per second, the speed of light is over 186,000 mps and it is about 2 million light years away. We’ve got a while. I’m more worried about what the Dems have up their sleeves.
It’s because of global warming. Maybe plastic bags and straws too.

“Galactic Tide.” What a name for a Starship.
Worry about the coming global cooling and falling magnetic protection against cosmic energy we are currently undergoing.
Global warming in inconvenient...global cooling will kill millions.
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is 41 degrees north of the equator—so it is visible from a large portion of the southern hemisphere including the landmasses with a sizable human population. Punta Arenas, Chile, may be the only large city where it never gets more than a few degrees above the horizon, making it effectively invisible.
Each galaxy has billions of stars and almost none will actually collide. Think of two clouds of gnats flying through each other. The article’s analogy with black holes (’spaghettification’) is completely wrong. The odds of any two stars actually colliding is pretty much zero.
Due to gravitational effects the two spiral galaxies will eventually form a single elliptical galaxy. That’s it.
“There’s going to be a galactic merger in a few billion years.”
“Oh, my god. I’ve to to get home to the family!”
“Why? A billion years is a long time.”
“Oh, whew. I thought you said ‘millions.’”
