Artist's View of Adromeda Galaxy Colliding with Our Milky Way

Thanks to wikimedia

A view from Earth, with Andromeda on the left...

Do not worry--will not happen for another four billion years and Earth would be too hot for life, as it would be closer to the Sun....

Nice to think about, however.... it's fairly imminent in stellar terms, which is why we can predict it relatively accurately.....

and a video on the same thing.....
