What do you know, there’s still some hope left in the world! In a new paper published in Nature Astronomy, researchers found that the way they previously predicted the world to end may not happen after all, according to Daily Mail.
In the past, research has predicted that, sometime in the next five billion years, Earth will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy at 220,000 mph, effectively swallowing Earth in the process.
