Whew
: I love the understatement of the cosmology beat:
Astronomers have spotted two monster galactic clusters slamming together in one of the biggest collisions ever recorded.
The smash-up poses no danger to Earth — it is about 800 million light-years away, and the galaxies involved tend to speed by each other without crashing — but the Milky Way could be on a similar collision course in a few billion years.
It’s happening 800 million light-years away. Yes, I’d say we have little cause to worry.
