I do plan living that long. I will, to see the collision from earth edit: sorry I forgot to add a period (for those who don’t know what a period is it’s a lil dot that looks like this . there ya go)
Thats if your great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great (it goes on and on) have kids! 😂😂😂
@@afteer there is a difference. if we crashed stars and planets would collide causing supernovas across both galaxies, a collision will prevent a high percentage but majority will still collide.
@@HyperBassYT the collision is not expected to be a catastrophic event for our solar system or for life on Earth. While the gravitational forces between stars and planets may be disrupted, it is unlikely that any stars or planets will directly collide with each other. The collision will likely result in a period of intense star formation as the two galaxies merge, but eventually, the new galaxy will settle into a stable shape.
NASA never comes out and says “okay guys we are already dead” iffff anythingggg NASA is the people to cool off the public after they freak the fuck out over a asteroid having a .0001% of hitting earth in our life time or anything they find out about space and how deadly it is 💀NASA is the one to help everyone chill out
People don't realize how far stars are from each other. The average distance between stars is about 5 light years. So even when they do merge, the chance that 2 stars come even close to each other is literally less than 1 percent
Actually when galaxy are merging, distance between star to star are sufficiently far apart that any collision between star is almost impossible. So if we happened to live and see the event, odds are we're gonna be okay
Answer : Yes, it is believed that the Andromeda galaxy and the Milky Way will collide in approximately 2.5 billion years. The two galaxies are moving towards each other due to the gravitational forces between them. When they collide, they will merge to form a new galaxy. This event is known as the Andromeda-Milky Way collision or the Great Galactic Collision.
For the people: Andromeda has not begun the merging stage with the milky-way, it has yet to get close to us, and even so it would take thousands of liftimes for anything to happen to earth. Another thing, it would be quite rare for anything to collide sense space is so vast In-between stars, the only thing to be sure to collide, are the supermassive blackholes in the center.
The Sun’s mass will never be large enough to be able to implode on itself and create a supernova. When it runs out of fuel to burn, its outer layers will be ejected to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a hot, dense core called a white dwarf. All life will be gone long before this happens.
Actually what would happen is, the milky way and Andromeda will turn into one. Process: The black holes in each galaxy will turn into one and start to vacuum everything around it then after a long period of time, the black hole will spit everything. A new galaxy will be born called milkdromeda.
That's not what would happen the stars have enough velocity that they will keep orbiting the new black hole, The worst that could happen is that a star passes close by
i’m starting to freak out just how 7 year old me did when i found out the sun would explode billions of years in the future 😭💀 edit: why y’all saying your current ages in the replies 💀
@@0canofbeans_417 i just didn't wanted a mark edited. I already knew that my comment is not grammatically correct. N my primary talking language is Hindi 😅
Fun fact:if this will happen after 2.5 billion years And andromeda is 2.5 million light means we are looking at andromeda 2.5 million light years before so it has already begun Edit:guys when andromeda is 2.5 million years away that means that it took for light 2.5 million years to reach earth the sky means that means we are looking at andromeda 2.5 million light years ago
You forgot to mention that it’s highly unlikely that any stars will even collide because space is 99.999999% empty space. So even when that happens there is a 99.999% chance we’d be fine.
@@SOLIVE_bruhnot to mention the supermassive blackholes will meet and fuse themselves. Which will result in a gravitational pull Millions or thousands of times more powerful.
Don’t worry it’s a harmless process it would not do anything We would love on another planet to earth is ending in exactly 4.5 billion years we would not die it’s super harmless
@@mochi..taro..xI think he's saying that the person who is born in 2012 was so fat that he caused the Milky way Galaxy to head over to Andromeda Or it's just another stupid joke
Bro got me pumped for the first few seconds about the collision thing Until he mentioned that it would take place 2.5 billion years💀 Wth am I supposed to do in the next 2.5 billion years?💀
The chances of any star affecting us is miniscule, the distance between stars is massive and planetary systems could easily come between us and proxy centauri without any issues.
You're kinda right assuming nothing material can go as fast as the speed of light and the nearest solar system is plenty of light years away so unless we use cryogenization or some strange things we're pretty much screwed.
But how is it possible? Andromeda is still so far away from Milky Way. Edit: So a galaxy like Milky Way is chiefly made up of three parts - bulge, arms and halo. Bulge is the central yellow part which houses the black hole, arms are, well, the arms, and halo is a faint cloudy structure present above and below the arms. Halo mainly has old stars scattered here and there, it is quite faint. It turns out that these halos of the two galaxies have actually begun to collide with each other. But hey, not a problem for us as we live in the arms. The arms will hit each other after 4 billion years!
@Sara Olson Nothing will be happening for the next 4 billion years, the effects of gravitational force of Andromeda galaxy will be harmless until the arms collide. The Sun exerts much more force on Earth as compared to the Andromeda galaxy.
it is an extremely low chance that we would be hit of damaged by a star when andromeda collides with the milky way because of how far spaced apart each star or solar system is from the other, and so it would actually be a really cool event since you could see way more stars in the sky at night and the scenery would be awesome.
Just to clarify, all of the stuff that will happen to earth(except the sun turned by into a red giant in 5 billion years) is not true, the stars are so far apart that the closest stars to the solar system will be light years away, remember: space is BIG.
This scared me as a kid, but now it’s happening and honestly we know so little about space, this could be the end of us tomorrow instead of 2.5 billion years from now, especially, since the times already been cut in half from the original collision prediction 🤷♀️
