In four billion years the Milky Way, our galaxy collide with another galaxy Andromeda, which is now from us at a distance of 2.5 billion light years away. Our galaxy moving towards each other. This is stated in the video, which was posted on the channel TV Roskosmos to YouTube.
The video says that the collision of the Milky Way to Andromeda will lead to the fact that the stars will be ejected into intergalactic space by powerful gravitational perturbations. The nuclei of galaxies are spinning around each other for millions of years and eventually merge into a single entity, forming one large galaxy.
Speaking of merging galaxies, Academician Astrophysicist Rashid Sunyaev said that it will happen in 3 5 billion years.
«It will be very unhappy spectacle for earthlings, even if there will be someone at the time exist on our planet. Our solar system will feel the extraordinary acceleration, we throw out of the plane of our galaxy somewhere far away, we will fly. It will be an amazing flight through such a mess of the stars “- said the academician.

«We are investigating the merger of galaxies. It is surprising, first, to look at them, look at how this shock waves are formed, the gas is compressed, there is the formation of new stars are very bright, X-ray sources, that all of this can be seen today. We will examine all this “- he added.
In September 2015 US astronomers have published in the journal Nature the forecast, according to which at least a million years of the universe take place one of the most powerful explosions. It will be the result of a collision of two supermassive black holes are spinning around each other in the center of the galaxy in the constellation Virgo, the scientists predict.
