I am just slightly more worried about this than I am about NASA’s other hobby horse Anthropogenic ( Global Warming, or is it Climate Change?!

Impossible to truly tell without long-term measurements from a third-person perspective.

I’m talking about hundreds of millions of years, and a distance of a few thousand light years away.

The exact future of our Milky Way and the entire surrounding Local Group of Galaxies is likely to remain an active topic of research for years to come.

Should read, "... for billions of years to come."

This is terrible news! The world populations should have a special tax levied on them to prevent this from happening!

The Milky Way has already collided with several other galaxies.

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.
