A panoramic of the moon's surface is supposed to be here, but the picture is too awesome for /hr/

This picture is not shooped. There was actually a comet going by when this was taken.

I leave /hr/ with this tidbit: In a couple thousand years, our galaxy is going to collide with the Andromeda galaxy- hail to the inevitable apocalypse. Scientists have no idea what the outcome will be.

try a couple hundred million years
also nothing will happen. stars are too spread out to actually have a chance of striking eachother.

There will be a mix-up, yeah. Some star systems will be thrown into space, and supernovae will be common. But the odds are that of the hundred billion or so stars in the Milky Way and Andromeda, there will be only six stellar collisions. Six.

I heard it was more like 3 billion years...

I love space though, its crazy to think of how insignificant Earth is. I mean, there is an estimated 7x10^26 planets in our galaxt alone.

As Carl Sagan wrote in "Contact":

"I don't know, but if we're all alone in the universe... seems like a pretty big waste of space to me."

Great pic, thanks...

Are you stupid or something? 7x10^26 is only 1820? Are you saying there's only 1820 stars in our galaxy? Try 182,000 knucklehead.

Wow...I think a little piece of my soul just died. You're a fail on so many levels...he said PLANETS not stars, and 7X10^26 is NOT the same as 7x10x26. Lrn2math or GTFO.

Either your a troll, or a retard.

Anyway, who cares what will happen with the collision of the 2 galaxies, far worse will be the sun turning into a red giant, by then it will have scorched the surface of the earth already, no oceans no atmosphere, no nothing. We will probably be another life form that didn't leave evidence of existence.

But if you realize that the timeframe of a given lifeform will optimistically be a couple million years, comparatively to the age of the universe its like a second in a decade, making contact of these two timeframes very very very unlikely indeed.

Carl Sagan practiced outstanding science to arrive at that theory.

Hopefully more advanced aliens will see us before the sun goes red or a asteroid hits us, and will allow us to board their ship to their planet where all the aliens look like Elisha Cuthbert and are horny.

Sagan said something along the lines of: "There are either two possibilities. One is that Earth is the only planet in an endless universe with a self-aware intelligent being living on it or intelligent life exists throughout the universe. Either way, the implications are astonishing and anything but insignificant."

It's neat.

a composite image showing how we would see the M31 galaxy if not for light pollution etc

I find that difficult to believe. I live in a hurricane area and the entire region here has gone without power after a hurricane... I sure as fuck never saw that in the sky.

No, it's a composite image showing the relative sizes of the moon and M31. There is no way possible to "see" M31 that bright or clear with human eyes, no matter what the conditions.
