Well... There Goes THAT Neighborhood!
Like “The Break” in pool...
Asteroids, moons, planets and star systems...
Are experiencing...
“Some” disturbance...
We are expecting a similar “encounter” with the
“Andromeda Galaxy” in our distant future...

So this happened 230 million years ago. Wonder if it’s one galaxy now, or if one glanced off the other and made a getaway. Well, we got the license plate number.
Some of those dents will buff right out.

It’s like I’m Neil Armstrong and I turn around for a sip of Tang, and reed13k posts first!

Imagine looking out at the night sky and one tenth of the horizon was a colorful, spiral galaxy headed toward Earth.
Your planet has only 1000 years left until collision.
How different would you view life?

Reminds me of an episode of MST3K. “When two galaxies love each other very much...”

However, this is not expected to happen for around 4 billion years. Was that 4 Billion years, or 4 Million years?
