Galaxies can collide, and according to astronomers, they will!

The unfortunate news is that our galaxy, Milky Way is expected to collide with the nearest galaxy, Andromeda, which is 2.5 million light-years away. And when two such massive galaxies collide, not many stars and planets will manage to survive the impact.
