you're bored and you clipped and pasted two galaxies to make them look like they were colliding, right?
To: Red Badger
Didn’t we already know we were on a collision course with Andromeda?

There were threads recently that speculated Earth really wasn’t a member of the milky way galaxy put instead part of a smaller galaxy that was in the process of colliding with the milky way. Anyone remember that?

No, Somebody at NASA did............ Of course, I should have known. Maybe Hansen has new marching orders from Algore.

The prior thinking was that the collision would be a sideswipe whereas a more massive Milky Way galaxy would result in a more direct collision.
