Here's a Sneak Preview of What It'll Look Like When the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies Collide - by spacewriter
When large galaxies collide, such as NGC 4568 and 4567, they commence a cosmic dance that takes millions of years to complete. The effects begin to happen as they draw near each other and show up as distortions in the outer “edges” of the galaxies. Eventually, these two will draw together and coalesce. Their gravitational forces will send shock waves across the spirals. That should trigger waves of star formation.
From their new world , future humans will see Andromeda huge and beautiful in the sky. What they probably won’t see is how Andromeda and the Milky Way will be tugging at each other. But, eventually, huge starburst knots created by the forces of the merger will light up the sky. There could be dozens of new clusters and constellations to watch.
There will be a mixing of the two stellar populations as the galaxies collide. It’s not too likely that individual stars will run into each other. However, there are predictions that some stars and their planets could be ejected from the scene.
