At 120 kilometers per second in the direction of our galaxy - the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy rushes. According to astronomical calculations, there is a very good chance that in the future comes to a collision on a cosmic scale.
The Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy and the Triangle, and about 50 smaller galaxies creates a so-called Local Group. Andromeda is the largest and brightest galaxy in the northern sky. In the clear night you can watch it by binoculars. Its name comes from the name of the mythological Egyptian princess Andromeda.
Analysis of the Andromeda spectrum revealed that it belongs to the few galaxies that show a shift towards blue, which means that close to us.
Both we and thousands of successive generations, can sleep peacefully. If a collision occurs, it is certainly no sooner than 2.5-3 billion years. Until then, life onEarth cease to exist because increasing radiation from the Sun makes the planet's temperature rises much.
This year the European Space Agency launched a probe called Gaia, which conducted an analysis of displacement of the stars in the galaxy Andromeda. This allows astronomers would be able to determine the vectorspeed Andromeda, which will confirm or dispel concerns about the impact.
Although probably no man will witness a collision, it now can be confidently assumed that there is no serious collisions of stars. However, there is 50% chance that the system(Sunny)will be thrown up to three times farther from the center of the galaxy than there is today. The researchers also give 12% chance that our planetary system will be completely outside the galaxy.
So far we can sleep peacefully:))
12% only??? that is not enough! can i buy insurance to cover the risk of my death?
