Impressive and evocative!
I used to try to tell fortunes using a crystal ball, but I gave it up. Just couldn't see any future in it!

Re: APOD: NGC 2623: Merging Galaxies from Hubble (2018 Jan 10)
What would be the effects on Earth of another galaxy colliding with the Milky Way? Over the few million years that the collision will take, the Milky Way will look different (and probably brighter) from dark skies. The Galaxy is overwhelmingly empty space. Star-star collisions or even close encount...

She had graduated from college but had never seen the Milky Way. All too common I fear! Another rather shocking image is zooming in on the Korean Peninsul...
