What our sky looks like in the future

NASA astronomers announced that they are certain that our galaxy is on an unavoidable collision course with another galaxy which is called "Andromeda Galaxy", the closest spiral galaxy to us. 

Don’t worry though, it won’t be happening for another 3.5 billion years or so. What’s interesting is that the collision will drastically change what our night sky looks like, and the astronomers released a series of photo illustrations showing what future astro-photographers will be shooting when they point their cameras at the skies.

Just for reference, here’s what the night sky currently looks like:



This is after 2 billion years as you can see the other galaxy on left is coming toward our milky way

I personally like this stage more than the other stages, the night sky will be fascinating then!

At about 7 billion years, things will begin settling down. The two galaxies will form a new giant elliptical galaxy, with a single bright core filling up our nighttime sky

Good to know and by the way our sun – which is a middle-aged star – is about four-and-a-half billion years old.  Bottom line is that according to astronomers, our Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy will collide in four billion years, but hopefully nothing devastating happens to earth!?

The fish who changes its gender for reproduction! (The Wonderful Orange Clown-Fish)

No doubt one of the most wonderful animals on earth and in the oceans of course , are the "orange clown fish". No joke, they simply change their gender! The males become female and eventually dies! It's a real regular occurrence that these species are showing and not just a  rarely or a occasional incident!


The story is all about reproduction of course! These fishes live in small groups and they just stay together most of the times. They live in warm waters and they have sex, mate and reproduce all year long. 

Each group of fish consists of a breeding pair and 0–4 non-breeders. Within each group there is a size-based hierarchy: the female is largest, the breeding male is second largest, and the male non-breeders get progressively smaller as the hierarchy descends. They exhibit protandry, meaning each fish is born male, but will only change to female if the sole breeding female dies. If the female dies, the breeding male changes sex, becomes the breeding female and the largest non-breeder becomes the breeding male. It's a cycle, a never ending story! 





Roosters fights in Madagascar’s capital neighborhood

Roosters fight in a traditional Malagasy cockfighting (combat des coqs) contest in Ambohimangakely near Madagascar’s capital Antananarivo, October 27, 2013. Hundreds of participants with their roosters took part in the contentious practice of cockfighting that is tremendously popular on the island-nation of Madagascar, where locals make a living by breeding roosters as well as placing bets in weekly tournaments.
