It’s official, written in the stars you might say. According to astronomers, life as we know it is going to end.
Sad and shocking news I know, and with 21 December 2012 just around the corner.
Using data from the Hubble Telescope, scientists have shown that things are going to change, with our closest neighbour the Andromeda Galaxy on it’s way to crash into our own Milky Way.
While they think that our Sun and Planets may be “relatively” unaffected, in other words they might not be blown to smithereens and vaporised, this great upheaval in the heavens is sure to create chaos, with the tectonic plates shifting, maybe great tidal waves and earthquakes and other natural disasters.
You can read more about this on this article from the BBC News.
The good news though is that this cataclysmic event is not due to happen for another 3.75 billion years, so we can all breath easily again and sleep comfortable in our beds tonight.

What a great post! Thanks very much for alerting me about such terrible events scheduled in the next few billion years. There are always the few that enjoy announcing the end of the world:)
I wanted to compliment you on the organized and friendly profile you included on my blog. It emphasized everything I was trying to tell someone the other day.
I know it must be going crazy in the UK with the Olympics. Have a great day,
Lori
Even if Andromeda misses us, the Sun will go red giant and vaporize Earth. But I checked my Interstellar Farmer’s Almanac and 12-12-2012 is off by several decimal points.
