Andromeda Galaxy Devouring Its Neighbors!
"The Andromeda galaxy, the closest neighbour to our own Milky Way, has
been growing by scooping up stars from smaller surrounding galaxies, a Canadian-led team of astronomers has found." "Astronomers have long suspected that galaxies grow by pulling in stars from smaller galaxies, a theory called the hierarchical model. The model predicts that a large galaxy should be surrounded by the remnants of smaller galaxies it has cannibalized in the past." ""Because of the gravity of the bigger galaxies, smaller galaxies get pulled apart, and stars in them get pulled out into long stellar streams," McConnachie said. The survey found several such streams around Andromeda, which McConnachie called the "fossilized remains" of other galaxies. The astronomers found a stream of stars between Triangulum and Andromeda, as well as distortions in the disc of Triangulum, both evidence that the two galaxies have come into contact in the past. The galaxies orbit each other in a long, slow spiral, and McConnachie's team predicted that the next time they get close to each other, Andromeda could pull in even more stars and destroy Triangulum. The study also found that galaxies are much larger than previously thought. Stars loosely bound to Andromeda's gravity were found at distances up to 100 times the radius of the central disk of the galaxy. "Five to 10 years ago, before we started doing this kind of work, we would never have looked half a million light years from Andromeda. Everybody would have thought you were just looking into empty space," McConnachie said. The study, to be published Thursday in the journal Nature, offers the first panoramic view of a galaxy and the "fossils" of the galaxies it has absorbed." http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2...da-galaxy.html We're doomed!

Yes, one big happy galaxy! No more Andromy's and Milky's fighting intergalactic wars for dominance, and trying to exterminate each other. Might be nice. Sort of like the Tommies and the Sammies and the Jerries all get along now on Earth. Double-A |

Not to rain on your bong parade, but you are forgetting about the
terrorist Magellans. "Double-A" wrote in message ... Yes, one big happy galaxy! No more Andromy's and Milky's fighting intergalactic wars for dominance, and trying to exterminate each other.

We're doomed! Double-A Eventually YES! If Andromeda doesn't start getting us within the next million years, eventually the Great Attractor most certainly will, and perhaps long before then something contributed by and/or having been badly skewed off course by the Sirius star/solar system should be interesting, along with a few other blue-shifted stars headed our way. Apparently the Big Bang has had a few ricochets (as having bounced off the event horizon of our universe). The outer most portions of these three galaxies could conceivably be mixing it up within a few million years, exactly like we are currently dealing with the relatively nearby Sirius-B Oort debris right about now. Anything of intergalactic rogue and possibly retrograde encounters should be extremely impressive. The good news is, within a million years or less, the vast bulk of humanity will likely no longer exist/coexist upon this badly depleted and fully defrosted Earth. There may be a few of the most rich and powerful in highly fortified settlements or otherwise highly guarded compounds, and of course an enforced Caste system plus robots doing most of the necessary work, but that's about it. So, perhaps no great loss if a truly big one like Sedna or via whatever another galaxy has to offer should impact and vaporize whatever's left. The ultimate social/political and faith-based attitude readjustment: Double-A had previously suggested we review a private/commercial simulation as uploaded into youtube by “rocklobster182”, of what a truly substantial meteor/asteroid planetoid collision might look like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYgEwXWilUc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjk-9yJBIG0 http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/ Clearly there’s an ongoing galactic tidal radii that’s roughly extending a half million light years from those multiple black holes at the core of Andromeda/M31 (similar to the slightly greater tidal reach of the Milky Way). In other words, perhaps we’ll need to clear Andromeda by at least a million and preferably a healthy 2 million light years from either galactic core, that is unless you feel real lucky. http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/...0301/1/galaxy1 Unfortunately, it seems we’re only 2.4 million light years apart as is, and closing that gap at 300+ km/s. (in as little as 400,000 years and 2 million light years GC to GC), what could possibly start going wrong? Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |
