Φυσικά θα γνωρίζετε ότι ο γαλαξίας της ανδρομέδας θα ''συγκρουστει'' με τον δικό μας,σε μερικά δις χρόνια!! Ήταν κάτι που δεν το ήξερα,ή τέλος πάντων δεν θυμόμουν να το είχα διαβάσει στο παρελθόν. Ψάχνωντας το βρήκα....
''Andromeda and the Milky Way are actually heading toward each other in the do-si-do that constitutes life in a galaxy cluster. Recent measurements with the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed that they will hit head on in about two billion years. Since galaxies, like atoms, are mostly empty space, they will pass through each other like ghosts, but gravity will disrupt the stars and strew them across space in gigantic spectacular streamers. Eventually they will merge into a single giant galaxy.
The bad news is that we will be dead. Earth will have been boiled and sterilized eons earlier as the sun brightens. The good news is that the collision will be a fiesta of new stars forming as that disruptive gravity collapses and then condenses clouds of gas and dust. New worlds, another chance. Maybe.''
