We need AlBore to write a new book and collect another prize and last but not least blame Bush and tax the crap out of the American people.

BBC News reports: giant cloud of hydrogen gas is racing towards a collision with the Milky Way, astronomers have announced.

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

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.

When it does hit, the cloud could indeed set off a new burst of star formation in the Milky Way.

Details of the work, by a team at the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, were unveiled at the 211th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Austin, Texas.

I’m still trying to visualize how a cloud of hydrogen gas — even one that is moving at 250 kilometers/sec — can “smash” into anything.

The 100-meter Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia made a discovery which may have some benefit to U.S. taxpayers in only 40,000,000 years.

In other words, the Grand Kleagle finally came up with some useful pork.

I think I'm about to faint.

Well, there’s our unlimited supply of hydrogen; we just have to figure out how to harvest it...

this cloud of hot gas (probably a lot of methane and sulfides) is already here, why wait 40 million years? Really, has the man no shame?

Just like the climate, there isn’t anything anyone can do about it so go on living.

Is this going to be before or after the Andromeda galaxy hits us (poor Milky Way, seems to be getting beat up)?
