Andromeda Galaxy skittish about colliding with our own Milky Way



Recent composite images taken from the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope indicate that our nearest neighboring spiral galaxy, M31 or the Andromeda Galaxy, may be having second thoughts about its anticipated collision with our own galaxy in approximately 3 billion years. Scientists notice a slight hesitation in the galaxy's recent movements (by recent, they mean 2.5 million years ago since the current observed light left the galaxy then). A consensus has yet to emerge within the scientific community on whether or not the galaxy will still mosey on down toward our own thereby wreaking major fucking havoc on the otherwise run-of-mill, star birth, star death happenings going on in our own placid little corner of the tumultuous universe at large. Actually, stuff's been going down of late that makes all galaxies tremble before the mighty wrath of Zoooooooooool!!!!! What do you think? Write your answers on a starburst wrapper and throw them at the sun.
