Galactic mashup:
A show of swirling lights will fill the night sky as the Andromeda galaxy collides with the Milky Way in 4 billion years. Since you won’t be there to see it, here’s an artist’s illustration of what the mashup might look like. Credit: NASA, ESA, Z. Levay and R. van der Marel (STScI), and A. Mellinger
