Smith's Cloud, as it is known, may set off spectacular fireworks when it smacks into our galaxy in 20-40 million years.

Nothing like getting out front on the breaking stories.

It contains enough hydrogen to make a million stars like the Sun, say experts, and its leading edge is already hitting gas from our galaxy.

That does it, everybody stop eating beans right now.

Like on Star Trek:TNG, they just need to inject some reactant element into the approaching cloud to ignite it, then everyone can get some sleep....

We can prevent this. All we need to do is write a check to Al Gore.

20-40 million years.

Couldn't they refine it a little more than that? Like, say, within a million years or so? How's a feller supposed to enter this in his appointment calendar?
