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...

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...”

No doubt their is at least one group of aliens in these galaxies who believe this collision is catastrophic & taxes must be raised to stop it.

If only the aliens there had raised their taxes more to stop the galaxies from colliding.

If the universe was created by a big bang as we are told, why are galaxies colliding? Shouldn’t they be moving out from a central point away from each other? Do some galaxies have “english” as in billiards and move in an arc? I will never make it as an astronomer.
