Milky Way-Andromeda galactic collision C014 / 4725
Milky Way-Andromeda galactic collision. Artwork showing the future collision between the Milky Way Galaxy (seen edge-on) and the Andromeda Galaxy (seen as a spiral). This collision, which takes place slowly over millions of years, is seen above a landscape of mountains and water. This is the start of the collision, some 4 billion years from the present time. Andromedas spiral arms have swung out of its galactic plane and are also being tidally stretched. Earths solar system is being flung out along one of the Milky Ways tidally stretched spiral arms. For the aftermath of this collision, see C014/4726

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Milky Way-Andromeda galactic collision" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the far future of our universe. The image showcases the initial stages of a slow-motion cosmic dance between two colossal galaxies - the Milky Way and Andromeda. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a breathtaking landscape adorned with majestic mountains and serene waters. The Andromeda Galaxy, depicted as a magnificent spiral, is seen veering out of its usual galactic plane due to the immense gravitational forces at play. Its graceful spiral arms stretch outward, while being tidally pulled by the approaching Milky Way. Meanwhile, Earth's solar system finds itself flung along one of these elongated arms. This extraordinary collision unfolds over millions of years, an astronomical spectacle that will shape the destiny of both galaxies. In this moment frozen in time, we witness only the beginning stages of this celestial ballet set against the backdrop of a vibrant night sky. Richard Bizley's artistic rendition not only captures our imagination but also serves as a reminder of how minuscule we are in comparison to the vastness and grandeur of our universe. It invites us to contemplate our place within it and marvel at its infinite possibilities.
