Nearby galaxy is hurtling towards Milky Way on collision course which could wipe out life on Earth

Catastrophic galactic collision could send Solar System flying into space

research led by astrophysicists at Durham University, UK, predicts that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) could hit the Milky Way in two billion years' time.

The collision could occur much earlier than the predicted impact between the Milky Way and another neighbouring galaxy, Andromeda, which scientists say will hit our galaxy in eight billion years.

The catastrophic coming together with the Large Magellanic Cloud could wake up our galaxy's dormant black hole, which would begin devouring surrounding gas and increase in size by up to ten times.

As it feeds, the now-active black hole would throw out high-energy radiation and while these cosmic fireworks are unlikely to affect life on Earth, the scientists say there is a small chance that the initial collision could send our Solar System hurtling into space.

The findings are published today (Friday, 4 January) in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Now there is some boom doom mr. doom would be proud of


how long do we have to wait?


2 billion years? not good

Fun eh.

Shit i need to stock up to prepare for this.

oh yeah! well i say it will speed up and only be 1.9 billion years!

we better start preparing!

Sounds similar to the "fluff" cloud we are supposed to be hitting now.

Are you trying to tell us that they've known about this and have only given us two billion years to prepare?

what if this has all ready been happening for 1.99 billion years?

and by then will we be able to sustain ourselves via crafts rather than a planet???

There's too much nature here...too noisy

In our own controlled environment we can advance much more quickly...rather than crickets distracting resources from your brain, or dog barking, whatever distracts you...all can be eliminated in an off-world craft environment.

Uh huh sure okay. I will probably be dead by then anyways. lol

It takes people like Chuck Yeager and Howard Hughes to not only break records but to engineer the future...they did it and we must continue it...why go back to the Moon and on to Mars??? Because we must.

I guess this is it, then.

Now Is Not The Time To Be Sober!

2 billion years........ Will the real scientists please stand up?

We could only hope.....because this society is a Fail...

Wonder what 2 billion years of stocked up TP will look like?

Actually most all scientists confirm that when galaxy’s merge it just reorders itself into a super galaxy ... planets and stars don’t crash into each other they just reform a new spirit like shape over time and continue on

So no doom in 2 billion years when it begins

Haven't got enough beer 4 that but heeeeeeeey

"...could hit the Milky Way in two billion years’ time."


Really??!!

And we should do what??

BTW

AND

Hurry up and happen, the transgender pregnancy thing had made me a nihilist

Earth is going to be uninhabitable anyway in one billion years because the sun will heat up as it runs out of hydrogen. If anything, this could push Earth back into the goldilocks zone.

Soo... Tomato plants in?

Don't worry ebola will kill us off much sooner.

Run for your lives I tell you, Run for your lives!

Clearly this is a false flag, but WHY

I take it you are joking?.......suns will collide with planets, any life in both galaxies will be wiped

out, it will take billions of years to settle, and if a planet or two are in the right place

life will emerge, probably dinosaurs again the possibilities are endless.

Think of a giant snooker table scenario.

Besides humanity will have well moved on by then, colonising another galaxy.
