The AP is reporting that additional research has been done on the size of our Milky Way galaxy, and the results are that we are about 50% bigger than we thought. This means we are at least equal to the Andromeda Galaxy in size, not the smaller sister that we had thought we were.
This means that the gravitational pull between the two galaxies is much stronger, so it might not take as long for the collision that David talked about happening around 4 Billion years from now. We might have to change that time estimate down a Billion years or so. Still plenty of time to figure out how we're going to move the furniture, though.
How is everyone doing?
