Yup! The Andromeda and Milky Way are expected to collide in about 4.5 billion years, with initial interactions occurring around 2.5 billion years from now. Instead of a direct crash, the galaxies will pass through each other, merging gradually over billions of years due to gravitational forces.
And this merging will change everything around us. That's just insane to think about it. At least to try to picture it. Thank you science. Thank you @daydreamastro.bsky.social
