Uh-Oh, Andromeda (Aka M31) and The Milky Way are colliding, eeek! In about 4 billion years Andromeda will collide with The Milky Way. But first, let’s talk about the galaxies. A galaxy s a giant place where stars, black holes, planets, and moons live. Both of these Galaxies are spiral galaxies. In the center is the nucleus. It is a supermassive black hole that many stars orbit. Also the Triangulum galaxy. Here is the podium. The third biggest is the Triangulum galaxy. (AKA M33) The second biggest is Our own galaxy called Milky Way. The Biggest is Andromeda. This collision would form an elliptical galaxy. Here is a link to the collision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzhL4bgqkJY Did you know that there will be a collision with the Large Magellanic Cloud dwarf galaxy. Earth will survive. The supermassive black hole will feed on the material and Earth will survive. This would happen in 2.4 billion years from now. If this scared you, don’t worry, there is still a lot of time for scientists to think.

Wonderful Anag 👌. Good to know about this Galaxy collision. It maybe easier to identify earth like planets in the new galaxy after collision 😊
