The Andromeda galaxy, the largest in our local group, is approaching the Milky Way at 110 km per second and will collide with our galaxy in approximately 4.5 billion years; despite being 2.5 million light-years away, its gravitational pull is already affecting the outer edges of both galaxies, initiating the merger process that will reshape our universe.

4.5 Billion Years Until Total Collision #astronomy #universe #scaryAdded:
Right now, another galaxy is hurtling toward us at 110 km per second. It's been heading our way for billions of years, and in 4.5 billion years, it's going to hit. And here's the part no one talks about. It's already started. The Andromeda galaxy, the largest in our local group, is closing in on the Milky Way. Even though it's 2.5 million light-years away, its gravity is already tugging at us. The outer edges of both galaxies are beginning to interact.
Imagine the birth of a new galaxy. How do you think this cosmic merger will reshape our universe? Follow for more space explainers.
