Description 2 supermassive black holes just about to make contact.  2 galaxies coming together in the late stage of collision.  The Keck telescope in Hawaii snapped these real-image photos using X-rays.  This is us plus Andromeda galaxy in 6 billion years.  Watch out.

It has just been discovered that the Large Magellanic Cloud is heading toward us and will collide with the Milky Way in only 2 billion years.  That will thrust an extreme amount of gas, dust and stars into our large Black Hole, Sagittarius A*.  So much so that it could turn into an ultra bright Quasar.  Massive fireworks coming.

A picture of what this crash will look like is seen as the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51a) and a companion (M51b) collide.  Click here: sta.sh/0f2wqznqf24
