"The Milky Way has already collided with several other galaxies. Still here"
Yeah, but you should see what happened to the insurance rates.

The NASA "Picture of the Day" is usually quite interesting and informative. This one is not. I fail to see how NASA can include "Pictured above is an artist's illustration" as a "picture". This is particularly confusing, since most of the "sideways" velocity responsible for the intersection is speculation, not observation.

That’s an awful lot of space running smack dab into another whole lot of space...
