Smith's Cloud, as it is known, may set off spectacular fireworks when it smacks into our galaxy in 20-40 million years.

It contains enough hydrogen to make a million stars like the Sun, say experts, and its leading edge is already hitting gas from our galaxy. That does it, everybody stop eating beans right now.

"when it smacks into our galaxy in 20-40 million years."Is that before or after 2012?
