It’s Trump’s fault. And the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And the Covid pandemic.

No prob. The sun will envelop the earth long before then.

Old news...
All preparations would have to have been taken a couple of decades ago...

Women & children will be most effected...

Migrant invasions will look a lot different...

It will take at least billion of years to see anything!
Anyway, galaxies collide all the time and nothing happens.
The stars in galaxies are in general separated by few light years (Our closest star in more that 4 light years away!).
That means a lot of stars can fit in between.
So the galaxies just pass through themselves with minimal effects.
Our Milky way is currently colliding with few small galaxies!

Quick, hurry out and put solar panels on your Van.

That’s always the Ticket.

Let me guess, we have less than 10 years to act, and it’s going to require annihilating the middle class?

Shouldn’t it say somewhere in the article that Climate Change is speeding up the process? Come on, NASA guys. You can do better.

I set up the lawn chairs already. Will be sitting out back for the next few billion years waiting for the sky show.

Well - this universe just ain't big enough for the two of us.

50 billion years from now.
It will be millions of years before we even start to experience any gravitational pulls from it.

I’ve read theory that these two galaxies could pass through each other with not collisions of any kind, of course no one will be able kind to confirm that😀

So, maybe we don’t need to worry about global warming after all ? ? ?

“Good, we’ll get a fresh sun to replace ours.”

Well, it needs to run on wind or solar energy.

Actual collisions of stellar masses are extremely unlikely given the very low densities of both galaxies. With high relative velocities, probably even more unlikely a passing pair of stellar masses would be pulled into a degrading binary orbit that might lead to a collision.

What’s extremely likely to happen is existing binary and greater multiple systems being pulled apart, and many stellar masses (as in, billions) being slingshotted into different galactic orbits, or with enough velocity into intergalactic space.
