What will happen if we go to another galaxy?
The Milky Way Galaxy — home to planet Earth — is on a collision course with another interstellar body, a spiral of stars known as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). When the two finally meet it will not only create a massive black hole, but it may also fling our solar system thousands of lightyears away.
What would happen if we didn’t have a galaxy?
Originally Answered: What would happen if our solar system left the Milky Way Galaxy?? Very little. The night sky would be almost completely black, except for the planets of our solar system (and the Moon), and for a few faint background galaxies. That’s about all that would change.
Will our galaxy be destroyed?
Our Milky Way galaxy will endure more than one dramatic collision in the foreseeable future, new research suggests. But one of our smaller galactic neighbors, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), will actually hit the Milky Way about 2.5 billion years before the epic Andromeda event, according to a new study.
What would it take to get out of our galaxy?
Bottom line: Getting out of our Galaxy would require going about 1 trillion times farther than any human has ever gone before. And frankly, what we’d find out there is pretty much just empty space. Really empty space. No, I mean really really empty space. Not actually all that interesting.
Do aliens ever go out of the Milky Way galaxy?
No, no has ever gone out of our Milky way galaxy (not sure about Aliens). The Milky Way is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km ( about 100,000 light years or about 30 kpc) across. And we live on Earth in Solar System in Orion Spiral Arm, Milky Way Galaxy. But in the case of space the stats differs as there is no frictional force or air resistance.
What will happen when the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies collide?
This animation depicts the collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy. Hubble Space Telescope observations indicate that the two galaxies, pulled together by their mutual gravity, will crash together about 4 billion years from now. Around 6 billion years from now, the two galaxies will merge to form a single galaxy.
How far would it take to travel to see our galaxy?
Finally, if we wanted to go far enough to see our entire Galaxy in all its glory, we’d need to travel about 48,000 light-years vertically. It’ll be a long time before we have the technology to do this, or even to send a telescope there, so for now we’ll just have to enjoy the incredible images we have of other spiral galaxies.
