We're going to crash!

A few days ago came a report that the Large Magellanic Cloud (that's it here) is likely to crash into the Milky Way in just 2 billion years! Hey, we were supposed to be safe from a collision for 8 billion years. Ooops! Better backup of all your more valuable images, just in case. :-) Taken using the Pentax 'astrotracer' on the K1.
View on black, maybe while listening to this.

Explored.

First things first- it's a fantastic photo! Lol, the media are in full panic mode all the time, in Germany the Eifel volcano is going to erupt (in 30.000 years maybe...);-)

great image, I can not make here. very good. To get the noise down you can use ISO 1600 and a lot of exposures you can combine afterwards

I need time to think about this. My Mum always said that one should always have clean underwear on, and I've backed up all my images just in case. LOL

2 billion years sounds like a long time, but it will be here before we know it. Better prepare now. :-P

WOOT!!! Nice astral photography, great details too, George. I'm so very terrified...how will I ever get over 8 billion years of worry?! :D :D

Great info, I've been thinking about the blood moon eclipse here that will happen tomorrow, the bummer is that we won't see it because of the stormy skies...but we're holding out hope anyway!!

Re: our road work and being out in the "sticks"....it's totally worth it. I'll take a flooded out road to a frenetic city any day of the week, tyvm! :D
