Yep.

But it's probably going to take millions of years

They are 300 million light years away so this picture actually occurred at the tail end of the Carboniferous Period.

Same thing will happen to our galaxy when we collide with Andromeda. So nobody plan on living for millions of year, because it's going to get real crazy

I don't believe in life inn outer space.

But when I see something like this and then try to comprehend just how large and vast space is, it just seems hard to believe that we are the only life throughout the entirety of space.

I don't think anyone can actually wrap their head around just how vast space is or that anyone has a clue just how much stuff and "space" is out there.

When they hit though our little solar system will hardly notice. There will be more stars in the sky and the structure of the Milky Way will be torn apart but on a very local scale I doubt there would be much impact.

What's wild and scary is that the universe is expanding at an alarmingly accelerating rate...and we don't know why.

As evidence by my last post it is a topic I can't even begin to discuss or comprehend without sounding like a 3rd grader.

Space.....Why is there so fricking much of it?

I've seen that before. It's unreal. A great site.

It helps out into perspective just how amazing it is that man was able to get even remotely close to Mars.

It also makes you appreciate the crew that destroyed the asteroid and saved mankind in the documentary Armageddon.
