NASA to Reveal Hubble Discovery of Milky Way’s Violent Fate

NASA will reveal new discoveries about the violent fate of our Milky Way galaxy on Thursday (May 31), the space agency has announced.

NASA will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT) Thursday at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. Scientists will discuss new Hubble Space Telescope findings about the inevitable crash of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, which will occur billions of years from now.

“Because of uncertainties in Andromeda’s motion, it has not been possible to determine whether the Milky Way will have a head-on collision or glancing blow with the neighboring galaxy billions of years in the future,” NASA officials said in a media alert Friday (May 25). “Hubble’s precise observations will settle this question.”

“What the…” Sherlock murmured, staring in awe at the spinning blue box that sped towards his moving taxi. Soon it was straight in front of him and the doors of the strange police box flew open; he was greeted by the Doctor who yelled at him urgently.

“Sherlock, you have to jump!”

The consulting detective wound down the window and tried to shout over the wind. “Don’t be ridiculous! Besides, I’ve had enough of jumping for a lifetime,” he added under his breath.

“The driver is a robot, it wants to kill you! It might be another of Moriarty’s creations. Look,” he said, noticing Sherlock’s scepticism, “Just trust me, you have to jump!”

Scientists and engineers can indeed change the world. So can you. You were born to.

“Science isn’t my only defining feature, maybe I should cool it”

“I’d be an obnoxious roommate”

“I wish I could delete myself from people’s lives and SAVE THEM THE TROUBLE”

I’m not even sad or upset they’re just passing negative thoughts?? stop it
