A view of the Andromeda galaxy, also known as M31, with measurements of the motions of stars within the galaxy.
This spiral galaxy is the nearest large neighbor of our Milky Way
The future orbital trajectories of three spiral galaxies: our Milky Way (blue); Andromeda, also known as M31 (red);
and Triangulum, also known as M33 (green). The Milky Way and Andromeda will collide about 4.5 billion years
from now, a new study based on observations by Europe's Gaia spacecraft suggests

Seems to me that the headline should read We finally know when our Milky Way will begin to crash into the Andromeda galaxy since the 'collision' will be a multi-hundred million year event.

I hope I have time for a second cup of coffee.
I don’t want to be playing bull fighter with some galaxy charging at me unless I’ve had two full cups of coffee.

The monster collision between our Milky Way and fellow spiral galaxy Andromeda will occur about 4.5 billion years from now, according to the new research Well, that's just about the time our Sun will go nova, so it won't make much difference one way or another.............

Don’t worry, fellow Earthlings!
I have been working on a secret project to protect us from pieces of space crashing into us!
It kind of looks like an umbrella for your picnic table, only it’s made of a new, super strong material called cloth.
