There's no way there's no intelligent life somewhere in there.

dansalerno.bsky.social•150 days ago

It doesn't matter though. Give the vast distances it's the same as being alone. We will never contact intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

carumbau.bsky.social•150 days ago

There are plenty of intelligent life forms on earth, like the octopus, with whom we have yet to establish meaningful communication.

And with how time/light works, even if we see life, it either won't be there anymore or be entirely different 😔

Only 4.5 lightyears away. So close, and yet, so very far away. 🚀

4.37 light-years is the distance to Alpha Centauri, the closest star system in out galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.53 million light-years away from Earth. It is on a collision course with our galaxy in 4.5 billion years.

Oops? Right, I got the names mixed up. Thank you.

Is it from the Webb telescope?

Hey, I can see my house from here!

anthonyalvear.bsky.social•150 days ago

This is what we are going to collide with in 5 million years?

dansalerno.bsky.social•150 days ago

Billion. 5 billion years.

anthonyalvear.bsky.social•150 days ago

Can’t wait for our galaxies to finally hug!

There is only one galaxy, the rest is just space junk and satellites.

zomneydomnitz.bsky.social•150 days ago

Just hanging out here in my galaxy wondering if someone is hanging out there in their galaxy.

laurawoolger.bsky.social•150 days ago

How long before we hit Andromeda or they hit us? I know we’ll all be dead, but what is the time frame?

metalista66666.bsky.social•150 days ago

5.10^9 yrs. But estimates vary.

laurawoolger.bsky.social•150 days ago

Thanks. I vaguely remember deGrasse Tyson on Cosmos (?) talking about what the two galaxies might end up looking like after the crash. But not the time frame.

binaryhands.bsky.social•150 days ago

How do we know how many? OK

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...946,947,948,949...21,188 21,189 21,190...98,566 98,567 98,568...901,222 901,223 901,224...several years later 2,598,000,090 2,598,000,091

How are you doing I've got up to
