Ice Cloud


Well this should make you shiver if your concerned about global warming. I wonder if Al Gore knows about this?

This is a false-color radio telescope image of Smith's Cloud, which is headed toward a collision with the Milky Way.

The Smith’s Cloud is described as a colossal cloud of gas that is “racing” toward a collision with our galaxy, and when it hits, the crash could trigger an intense burst of star formation.

The collision and stellar light show will occur in 20 million to 40 million years, an astronomer announced at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
