This incredible image shows how our skies will look when the Milky Way galaxy collides with our cosmic neighbour, the Andromeda galaxy, in four billion years.
Astronomers at NASA have confirmed that, according to their latest models, a major collision will occur in a major cosmic event.
The head-on encounter is expected to happen four billion years from now - catapulting our sun to another area of the galaxy, with stars tossed on to different orbits, astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute revealed on Thursday.
Although Earth and its solar system won't be destroyed, it will be pushed away from the galactic core more than it is now.

'After nearly a century of speculation about the future destiny of Andromeda and our Milky Way, we at last have a clear picture of how events will unfold over the coming billions of years,' said Sangmo Tony Sohn, Baltimore, Maryland-based institute.
After the Andromeda galaxy finally strikes the Milky Way, it will be another two billion years before the two totally come together and form a single elliptical galaxy.
A mutual pull of gravity is bringing the two galaxies together as Andromeda, known to scientists as M31, falls at a ferocious rate toward the Milky Way.
Andromeda is currently 2.5million light-years away.
