:Milky Way - Andromeda Collision Animation Totally worth the wait

السلام عليكم

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.
