It won't "hit" but merge in about 4.5 billion years time - just about when our Sun starts turning into a red giant

Does the Galaxy end?
yes _________ We don't know yet. There are several competing theories about the distant future of the universe, and our galaxy. First off, our galaxy is going to collide with the Andromeda galaxy in about 5 billion years to so. Since galaxies are mostly so much empty space, we don't expect things to actually hit each other, although I'm sure that a few stars will actually collide. Good thing we're probably not going to be around to see it happen. Farther off in the future, we do not know if the cosmic expansion will continue, or will eventually slow down and collapse. There does not currently appear to be enough mass in the universe to stop the galactic expansion. If there is not, then about 200 billion years in the future, the universe will expand into a cold, dark infinite night.
Will there be any resistance offered to an object moving in space?
Space is not entirely empty and so is not a total or perfect vacuum, but it is as close to a vacuum as makes any difference. SOmething like the Voyager space probe, which has been hurtling through space for many years now and is, by some estimates, about to leave the Milky Way galaxy, will continue hurtling until it hits something big enough (and by big, I mean massive for you purists reading this) to stop it. It will not just slow down and come to a stop in the middle of nowhere. Although I suppose, now I have said that, it just might be possible that after a certain amount of time like a hundred billion years or so it might have hit enough space dust to have all it's energy absorbed, in which case it might just coast to a stop. But of course, that does not account for the effects of gravity acting on it. Phil
Why do the outer planets spin faster than the inner ones?
because of the way rock and debris hit them they spin faster
Is it better to launch a rocket over water or land?
It is usually better to launch a rocket over land. That way, if the rocket crashes it won't hit any populated areas.
What 2 ways craters were formed on the moon?
actually, theres only one way that was proven by scientists its when some big rocks hit the moon causing a dent depending on how big the rock is.
Will we be hit by the other stars?
Possibly... but we are pretty sure that in approximately 3 billion years we will colide with the Andromedia galaxy which is the galaxy closest to the milky way (our galaxy). We are (our galaxy) speeding tward the Andromedia galaxy at the speed of light.
when is the supermassive black hole in the center of our milky way going to hit earth?
the supermassive black hole in the center of the milky way will never hit earth. It is a small and quiet black hole, compared to the giants in some other galaxies. But none will destroy their galaxy.
What would happen to the earth if galaxies collide?
In all probability nothing at all. In about 5 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy will merge with our Milky Way Galaxy (note the word merge, they merge not collide). The distances between stars and planets is so great that in most cases, the merge will happen without any major changes. This is not to say that nothing will happen. Gravitational interactions between close stars could have a catastrophic effect on any planetary system. However, as said before the chances are slim. It's like shooting a shotgun at an object 1 mile away and hoping to hit it with just one pellet.
Is milky way larger than Jupiter?
Yes. The Milky Way is a Galaxy which contains many many many solar systems. The stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, and is believed to be, on average, about 1,000 light years thick. It is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion stars, the exact figure depending on the number of very low-mass stars, which is highly uncertain. Extending beyond the stellar disk is a much thicker disk of gas. Recent observations indicate that the gaseous disk of the Milky Way has a thickness of around 12,000 light years - twice the previously accepted value. As a guide to the relative physical scale of the Milky Way, if it were reduced to 130 km (80 mi) in diameter, the Solar System would be a mere 2 mm (0.08 inches) in width
Which beybladeis better galaxy pegasus or rock Leone?
galaxy pegasis because galaxy pegasis will use the walls of the stadium to hit leone and when galaxy pegasis is the middle it can outside leone or galaxy pegasis will lose . galaxy pegasis is always using the walls.
How do you hit the power lines in super Mario galaxy Wii?
you cant
Is galaxy a group of stars bound together by gravity?
The stars move. Everything in the universe is moving, including our sun. The sun is in one arm of the Milky Way Galaxy that is moving around the center of the galaxy, like everything else that's in it. The galaxies themselves are moving away from each other, and if current analysis is correct, their movement away from each other is accelerating. There is not a single thing in the universe that can be thought of as stationary. Actually, the truth is, Stars actually DO move, but very slowly. See, since they are so far away, you won't see them 'move'. If they were closer, then perhapes you would see them move faster. This is why we see different constellations throught the year. As for the Sun, it does infact move. It moves around the Milky Way in an almost circular orbit. The Sun actually completes one revolution in about 230 million years. the sun doesn't move but the stars do, very very slowly.
What happens if galaxy gets destroyed?
Yes and no.A galaxy itself cannot be destroyed. It is made up of billions of stars held together by massive gravitation influences.Galaxies, do "collide" with other galaxies, but they do not "hit" more like merge into one another, forming a larger more massive galaxy.So if galaxy A merges with galaxy B we might call the merger galaxy C. Galaxy A and B therefore no longer exist, so you could say that they have been destroyed, but all the original matter of the galaxy still exists, just in another form.See related link for more information.

all you do is hit it with a star bit then hit it again it will explode. hope it helps.
