How The Milky Way will end

In keeping with the tonights Space theme, and following on from 'Planets and Stars to Scale' I stumbled over a peice on Andromeda vs. The Milky Way that the BBC included a documentary. It is rather dramatic, and of course all the action takes place about three billion years from now, but even so it is clear that everyone is going to a have a bad day.

The 'glass half full' folks will be pleased to note that a new galaxy appears to be born out of the maelstrom, perhaps if we get in quick we can have first dibs on naming rights. "Androway" perhaps?
