Can Galaxies Collide?

The question is, “Can Galaxies Collide?”

I read an article that stated there was a galaxy called 0402+379, 750 million light years away that has two super-massive black holes.

It’s believed they’re going to merge.

When this happens, it could show the course of what will happen in several billion years from now.

For both our galaxy the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy, both with black holes are also set on a collision course.

So, where will this leave Earth?

Could Earth be destroyed or move into a black hole within another galaxy?

Also, what will happen to the Sun, will it follow?

Who knows, fortunately, I won’t be here in a billion years to find out.

But as our planet is continuously abused by air pollution, chemical spraying, fracking and the destruction to our planet’s surface, will Earth even be here to witness it. 

I fear not.

But hey, I’m no Astronomer, what do you think?
