It would be amazing to be alive during the time when andromeda is about to hit the milky way, imagine looking up into the night sky seeing another galaxy larger than the moon appears! it would be fantastic
More or less, in around 3 to 5 billion years, planets will be ejected, and the galaxies might merge and other stuff also, they aren't sure of a lot of the specific.
Some planets might get it, but considering just how massive and spread out planets are in a galaxy most would probably be ok, they could get ejected, form together, or something.
Remember, from our sun to the next closest star, Alpha Centauri, is about 4 light years away from us, that is a LOT of empty space for galaxies to pass through each other.
It's interesting stuff to know and think about, nothing to freak out about though.
@Usul573 i think the human race will be long gone before this happens! we are just another species to inhabit this earth! and to be honest we are doing a pretty good job of destroying ourselves!
Really? You guys ARE afraid of it? Oh god... Alright, so first of all, it's only a theory, it might never happen. Secondly, even if it's true, who cares? When it'll happen, the Sun will be extinct and all of us will already be dead and the Earth will come back as it was before: Just a cold, big rock wandering in space.
We aren't getting closer...but it is... Andit's travelling at 10000000000km per 4 seconds, but it's 200000000000 light years away still, it won't get here for another 1-2 billion years ;) so not to worry..
@freakmebabyboi and when they hit it will take MILLIONS of years just to pass through one another but its not how far away they are its the size of them they are GIGANTIC :) also i dont get the way people think it will destory the galaxy it wont earth will have no affect whatsoever :D but i dont know our galaxy could die before they hit or earth will be gone i dont know i wont be alive then :D lets just hope it will stay and we might have a new place to call home
Cool sim, but I wonder if this Is this going to happen in the future? are we getting closer or further away from Andromeda? I think we're getting apart about 10 Km/s, not sure tho.
@rmilrta yeah, I just watched a couple of lectures of more than 1 hour each with great explanations of stars and galaxies and yes, we're getting closer 694 KM/s or 2.5M KM/hr, will hit it head on in 3B years.
really like the sun is the centre of the milky way galaxy,COME ON... the centre is a super massive black hole, as showen by the movement of the milky way. it been a spirle galaxy. thr sun is the centre of our soral system within the milky way,but good south paw at 0.51
@dburford9 They know because of the doppler effect. Scientists know that if a celestial object is moving away from us, its emitted light is shifted towards the red end of the spectrum. If it's moving toward us, it's blue shifted. Andromeda is blue shifted, therefore it is getting closer to us every day.
Our galaxy on a larger front is moving towards the Virgo Galaxy Cluster. The gravitational pull from that cluster is pulling all nearby galaxies close to it, including our local group.
Andromeda is close to four times the size of our Milky Way galaxy, Galaxies are in clusters and these clusters have gravitational and dark matter effects that make them form branch like structures.
Verdammt das würde heißen das viele Raumfahrende Zivilisationen von dieser Galaxis fliehen müssen und vielleicht auch die menschen wenn sie dann soweit sind oder überhaupt noch exestieren den das könnte noch arsch lange dauern freunde
this will never happen, god will obviously put his hand in the way and protect earth.. why would he let earth, the center of the universe, be destroyed?? come on now.

"This is just raw speculation about somehting that's way above our comprehension. We can't even begin to imagine what will happen if this takes place."
Funny how "raw speculation" is able to reproduce what we actually observe in nature to a remarkable degree of accuracy.
@watsisname one thing that bugs me is, I want to know how is it possible that we even know what our neighboring galaxies are since we are taking photographs from INSIDE the milky way....
wasnt there a spotnik satellite that is out there that isnt even close to leaving the milky way? i dunno this whole milky way is going to collide seems too far fetched from the start
"one thing that bugs me is, I want to know how is it possible that we even know what our neighboring galaxies are since we are taking photographs from INSIDE the milky way...."
Because even though we're viewing from within our galaxy, we can still see most of the surrounding galaxies very clearly. Even a small telescope under a dark sky will let you see many galaxies. :)
We don't have to send probes to them, just seeing them is enough, and we learn a great deal that way.
As for the Milky Way / Andromeda collision, this is based on our observations that Andromeda is moving towards us, which we can tell by a method called "spectroscopy". If you understand how Doppler radar works, then this is quite similar.
There is some uncertainty though in how fast Andromeda is moving "sideways" relative to us, so we don't know if Andromeda will miss us, graze us, or pass right through us. (By "us" I mean the Milky Way as a whole).
this collision could be just a merging of galaxies without a single star colliding, like atoms where nothing touches nothing.
i imagine the chances of that may be fantastical, but nature always manages to throw a curve ball.
on the other hand, most of the stars could collide, and if the resulting energies doesn’t fry and kill our tiny world, then being flung out into cold empty space to f*cking die will certainly do the trick.
@pwiattitto - That's not possible. Earth will always stay with the sun, unless a star passes within a few AU from Earth's orbit - which is extremely unlikely. Anyway, we'll already be dead by then because the sun's going to grow and fry us.
@Drag0nfoxx Actually not. It will be in the phase of growing when the collision starts, but even then it wont't kill us. The solar wind will increase, "nudging" the earth farther away towards a safer zone. As soon as the sun starts to puff off the outer layer, we will be royally *****. Just sayin, technically, ur not accurate. :D
@IMAFISHYAY - It has not been proven yet that the solar wind would become powerful enough to push us back. The chance of leaving Earth and colonising Europa, Titan or another moon like that, and surviving the disaster that way seems higher to me.
@Drag0nfoxx On the other hand, we will be LONG dead by then, along with the entire human race if WWIII/Zombie Outbreak/Deadly virus happens. More of a question of when we blow ourselves to hell rather than when the sun does. Like I said, the solar wind WOULD push us back, but we would die anyways, since a by-product of the solar wind would be to puff off the star's outer layers and fry us. At least we will go out with a bang either way.
This collision, whether it even happens, depends on the component of Andromeda's velocity transverse to the line from here to there, which is not known. Until it is, such simulations are a scientific wild-ass guess (SWAG).
YOU ARE IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE YOU GOSSIP!!ING ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????you want to know which galaxy is bigger?? LOOK IT UP.... GOOGLE PEOPLE GOOGLE
do 'yall really wanna know why the andromeda galaxy is tryin' ta' fuck with the milky way, it's because even though were smaller in size, we got the size "where it counts". it's so obvious that andromeda is just jealous.
@Mikkael365 actually we are slightly bigger than andromeda. so its going to be our bitch. :p it should be milky way colliding with andromeda not andromeda colliding with milky way. 0:50 everything getting raped.
oh, so the andromeda galaxy thinks it can collide with OUR galaxy, destroy OUR planet and create the andromedaway!? I don't think so! kick its ass, milkyway!
@Aerensiniac if objects can obrit a sun, then it is possible for the two suns to orbit each other. Or in this case two black holes. Unlike usual preconceptions it IS possible to orbit a black hole without being sucked into what is also not really a hole, but is in fact super dense matter basically a huge star with so much gravity that it's own light cannot escape the gravitational pull.
@PSNDonutDude I think the black holes would mereged to gether after a while. Maybe dance a litle around each other, but they would probably merge since they both have such massive gravity.
@matsrudi Actually watching the video a second time the black holes do merge, that ball encircling it is not a black hole. It seems like a misplaced example of our sun rotating around our galaxy. The two black holes merge at: 0:55 - 1:00
@PSNDonutDude I also think they were trying to represent the solar system's position within the Milky Way. They definitely got that wrong because the solar system is on the outer section of the galaxy.
@PSNDonutDude What I also wonder is about the dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way and Andromeda. The Milky Way has 8 and M31 has 14. Have those been taken into account at possibly changing the trajectory of either galaxy? I believe it is M110 that has had near misses with M31.
So basically, this simulation thinks we'll probably be okay after a couple of close calls and continue on in the new galaxy? That is, assuming our sun hasn't died by the time the collision is completed.
@pleiades73 Our Sun will never be a SuperNova... it willl inflate up to Earths orbit, then simply fade to it's destiny of white dwarf

Also, galaxies are mostly empty space so most stars/planets will be fine.
It's about 2.5 million light years away, sllllllllowly inching towards us.
One more factoid, they think by about another 1.3 or 1.4 billion years no more life will be on earth, because of the sun heating up.
Heh, odd fact to know right?

on the other hand, most of the stars could collide, and if the resulting energies doesn’t fry and kill our tiny world, then being flung out into cold empty space to f*cking die will certainly do the trick.

@pwiattitto - That's not possible. Earth will always stay with the sun, unless a star passes within a few AU from Earth's orbit - which is extremely unlikely. Anyway, we'll already be dead by then because the sun's going to grow and fry us.
Drag0nfoxx 1 year ago
@Drag0nfoxx Actually not. It will be in the phase of growing when the collision starts, but even then it wont't kill us. The solar wind will increase, "nudging" the earth farther away towards a safer zone. As soon as the sun starts to puff off the outer layer, we will be royally *****. Just sayin, technically, ur not accurate. :D

@IMAFISHYAY - It has not been proven yet that the solar wind would become powerful enough to push us back. The chance of leaving Earth and colonising Europa, Titan or another moon like that, and surviving the disaster that way seems higher to me.
Drag0nfoxx 1 year ago
@Drag0nfoxx On the other hand, we will be LONG dead by then, along with the entire human race if WWIII/Zombie Outbreak/Deadly virus happens. More of a question of when we blow ourselves to hell rather than when the sun does. Like I said, the solar wind WOULD push us back, but we would die anyways, since a by-product of the solar wind would be to puff off the star's outer layers and fry us. At least we will go out with a bang either way.

Why did Andromeda come back and smack us?

@Tcap55 gravity from massive black holes at the center of each galaxy
pwiattitto 1 year ago
@Tcap55 Pwittitto is wrong, its the mutual gravitational force of EVERYTHING in EACH galaxy that pulls them back together.

This collision, whether it even happens, depends on the component of Andromeda's velocity transverse to the line from here to there, which is not known. Until it is, such simulations are a scientific wild-ass guess (SWAG).

do 'yall really wanna know why the andromeda galaxy is tryin' ta' fuck with the milky way, it's because even though were smaller in size, we got the size "where it counts". it's so obvious that andromeda is just jealous.
Mikkael365 1 year ago
@Mikkael365 actually we are slightly bigger than andromeda. so its going to be our bitch. :p it should be milky way colliding with andromeda not andromeda colliding with milky way. 0:50 everything getting raped.

@Aerensiniac One word: center of gravity
Insomnium2188 1 year ago
@Aerensiniac if objects can obrit a sun, then it is possible for the two suns to orbit each other. Or in this case two black holes. Unlike usual preconceptions it IS possible to orbit a black hole without being sucked into what is also not really a hole, but is in fact super dense matter basically a huge star with so much gravity that it's own light cannot escape the gravitational pull.
PSNDonutDude 1 year ago
@PSNDonutDude I think the black holes would mereged to gether after a while. Maybe dance a litle around each other, but they would probably merge since they both have such massive gravity.
matsrudi 1 year ago
@matsrudi most likely yes, but they theoretically orbit each other for the duration shown in the video.
PSNDonutDude 1 year ago
@matsrudi Actually watching the video a second time the black holes do merge, that ball encircling it is not a black hole. It seems like a misplaced example of our sun rotating around our galaxy. The two black holes merge at: 0:55 - 1:00
PSNDonutDude 1 year ago
@PSNDonutDude I also think they were trying to represent the solar system's position within the Milky Way. They definitely got that wrong because the solar system is on the outer section of the galaxy.
pletcgm 1 year ago
@pletcgm Yes that's what I meant by misplaced. It probably would have been thrown out of the mess. Also by sun I meant our solar system.
PSNDonutDude 1 year ago
@PSNDonutDude What I also wonder is about the dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way and Andromeda. The Milky Way has 8 and M31 has 14. Have those been taken into account at possibly changing the trajectory of either galaxy? I believe it is M110 that has had near misses with M31.

So basically, this simulation thinks we'll probably be okay after a couple of close calls and continue on in the new galaxy? That is, assuming our sun hasn't died by the time the collision is completed.
