Cannibalistic Galaxies.

Billions of years just passed before your eyes

reblogging again.

Our neighboring galaxy Andromeda (M31) shows evidence of being a past cannibal and is 3 times the size of the Milky Way. We are predicted to be “consumed” within the next 7 billion years. “It would be a beautiful night sky, it will be quite spectacular.” -Author/Astrophysicist Mark Irwin

I read somewhere that in 2-3 billion years you’d be able to see andromeda from earth and it would be larger than the moon in the sky. That’d be a stunning sight. 

I seriously just finished watching a documentary about this on netflix!!!
