      The computer simulations indicated there is a one in 37 chance we’ll end up living in

      Astronomers generally don’t expect a head-on collision. Rather, the two starry behemoths would circle each other closer and closer, drawn in by each other’s gravity. This would lead to a few close brushes between the two, distorting their shapes, followed by a final merger into a big, inelegant blob.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-science.net/exclusives/070510_galactic-collision.htm"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD width="100%" bgcolor="#808080"><DIV class="videobox">
