The Bad News?

    An interstellar gas cloud with the mass of one million
Suns is ploughing straight into our Galaxy at 540,000 mph!
When it hits, it will trigger great outbursts of star formation
and leave a trail of Galactic-scale destruction and disaster in
its wake!

The Good News?

    It's not going to hit for another 20,000,000 years or more...
