Whew!
The Milky Way is seen during the Perseid shower above the Los Padres National Forest in Frazier Park, California, August 12, 2009. The Perseid meteor shower is sparked every August when the Earth passes through a stream of space debris left by Comet Swift-Tuttle. Perseid meteors are bright, and often leave luminous trails of gas. REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni (UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENT SCI TECH)

Some pessimists predicted the Milky Way was doomed to a grizzly death...Shouldn't that be "grisly"? Or will the galaxy be torn apart by grizzly bears?

Looks like a ready-made excuse for some sort of government program...the Galaxy Collision Interdiction Act of 2009. Everyone can be taxed for the purpose of filing suit against the interloper galaxy.

Why would you beat a candy bar?

Yes.
Someone used spell check in lieu of actually proofreading the article.

I never tire at the amusement I derive from the lack of linguistic skill evident from so many supposedly “educated” people. Grizzly, indeed-!!

Whew, indeed.
Hopefully, we have no need for a "star czar."

These are Hubble images of colliding galaxies, which are more common than one might suspect.
The photo credit for the image in your post indicates that it was taken near Frazier Park, probably from the parking lot near the top of Mount Pinos. This is a great location for viewing the night sky. If you drive up on the night of a new moon, or a weekend night closest to the new moon, when the sky will remain dark all night long, you will find many enthusiasts with an array of telescopes. Any one of them will be happy to have you observe the target they are viewing. I hope the development of Tejon Ranch will make judicious use of lighting for the sake of preserving the night view from this spectacular location.

Bares definitely.
