Milky Way and Andromeda to colide

Astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to work out when precisely our Milky Way Galaxy will crash into its neighbour, Andromeda.
The pair are being pulled together by their mutual gravity and the scientists expect them to begin to merge in about four billion years' time.

Man that will suck.

Yeah. The good news is the effects should be minimal. After all, galaxies are mostly space.

It would be pretty amazing to look into the night sky and see a galaxy covering half of the sky!

Is it too soon to be talking about which glass to use and exposures?

I reckon a timelapse would be cool. Maybe one frame per million years?

Good call Frank, some issues to be worked out, such as power supply...
