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. Read more at: [link to phys.org (secure)] |

New research led by astrophysicists at Durham University, predicts that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) could hit the Milky Way in two billion years’ time. Although the collision will not directly impact the Solar System, it will trigger a secondary chain of events, dislodging other stars from their around our galaxy and increasing the chance of entering new gravitational fields which could change the orbit of planets. Although the crash is a long way off, it could end life on Earth two billion years sooner than expected. Don't worry ebola will kill us off much sooner. Life is a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves. |

Think of a giant snooker table scenario. Besides humanity will have well moved on by then, colonising another galaxy. Last Edited by clock on 01/04/2019 11:24 AM none |
