Relax - Milky Way Collision with Andromeda Further in Future than Earlier Predicted

The study also revealed more of what’s in store for the Milky Way and Andromeda. Rather than a collision (which is more accurately called a tidal interaction since no stars or planets were ever likely to collide), there’s going to be more of a glancing blow. And rather than taking place in about 3.75 billion years, it’ll be in about 4.5 billion years. Phew!

So these nerds were off by almost a billion years with their fancy computer programs but I’m supposed to believe they nailed the moon landing math using a legal pad and #2 pencil?

Good. Gives astronomers more time to rethink that “Milkomeda” name.

Speaking of, can you imagine how much this will raise crawfish prices!?

I saw both galaxies around NYE when I was in Arizona. I was eyeing it up and thought it was closer to 4.5 billion at the time

There is ten times mores stars in the sky than grains of sand on Earth. Let that sink in.

I’m calling bullshite on this. We have thousands of collisions every year in our solar system. You can’t say there won’t be collisions when you have two systems each containing thousands of trillions of objects running into each other

There is a chance collisions will happen but there is far more space than there is matter.

They say space is 90% air.

We’ll go from existing in a spiral galaxy to an eliptical galaxy, by far the largest in our cluster. Milkomeda will proceed to cannibalize the remaining systems in our galaxy cluster of the course of 150B years.

Pshh. Galaxies have been colliding for 6,000 years we just haven't been here to see it. Still, the Earth is still here in one piece. Why we spend money on Galaxy Warning is beyond me.

What a relief.
