The Milky Way and Andromeda will collide

More and more dreadful studies appear according to which the world will end. But all these claims have not been confirmed by scientists and created with the idea rather scaremongering than naming something real and genuine.

And while all waiting to come 21.12.2012g fateful date, which would suggest that the world ends, the researchers came up with a new opinion in a slightly different question. According to experts at NASA will have a collision between Andromeda and the Milky Way, it is argued that this encounter will surely happen and is inevitable.

It is reassuring, according to research scientists is expected in about four billion years, and besides Earth and the solar system will not be affected in any way. This happens because the distance between Andromeda and the Milky Way will be shortened - now it is 2.5 million light years.

But this frontal collision, will actually continue for 6 billion years and therefore it appears a new galaxy. What will actually happen is that there will be a sort of rearrangement in the galaxy. Earth will not suffer from this merger.


Scientists have long made different calculations on this issue and have come to such a conclusion, but no clear idea of ​​when it will happen, as they were not sure of the exact time he moves Andromeda.

Thanks to the telescope "Hubble" and the ability to do computer simulations, astronomers were able to see the exact direction of the Andromeda and can say with certainty that this will be a galactic catastrophe, even after four billion years.

Astronomer Sangmo Tony Song said at a news conference that the encounter actually happened and security in his assertion lies in the fact that between Andromeda and the Milky Way there are no other large objects.
