Andromeda, with its trillion stars and central black hole as massive as 100 million suns, is hurtling toward us at 110 km a second. Damn! Do we have time to pack a few things? =;-)

Women, orphans and minorities hit hardest.
Do we know if it's heading straight towards us or if it will fly by on either side?
As I understand it, we can measure radial velocity (straight toward or away) with great precision but angular velocity (sideways) at that distance, not so much.

We only have about 3-4 billion years to pack before the collision.

110 km a second. That’s 400,000 mph. Andromeda is 2 million , 300,000 light years away. (A single light year is 6 trillion miles) Yeah, you’ve got enough time to pack a bag. Just make sure you go to the bathroom before you leave and turn out the lights, ok?
