A galactic merger and dust rings around a southern star

from SkyCaramba · host SkyCaramba

Leo dives into the sunset. Mercury and Mars finish their pairing nearby. Saturn continues approaching opposition. Jupiter rises earlier. And Venus transitions to morning. The moon will soon occult Antares. Two galaxies--one of them the one we live in--will merge in a few billion years. What will we call the new amalgamation? Will people even be around to call it anything? A lonely star in the southern sky is orbited by rings of dust.
