Andromeda is headed our way at around 120km/second
Andromeda
is headed our way at around 120km/second and is predicted to collide
with the Milky Way galaxy in three or four billion years. The result, if
anybody is around to see it, will be beautiful. As there's so much
empty space and such large distances between stars, the two galaxies
will pass through each other first and it's very unlikely any stars will
collide, but dust and clouds will, meaning the rate of star creation
will be greatly boosted and supernovae will become more common.
