When worlds collide!


EVERYBODY IN THE PAVO CONSTELLATION SYSTEM PANIC!

In the words of Leeloo, "Boom! Big badda boom!" Smart people with telescopes have found that one planet got too close to another in the recent stellar past. Well, no, lets be accurate. One planet smacked the holy living heck out of another in a planetary collision that not even Michael Bay could possibly commit to film. Those same scientists say this is similar to how our Moon formed, when something the size of Mars smacked little baby Earth upside its newly formed noggin. My favorite quote from the article above is the description of the collision: "a huge fiery blast, over in the blink of an eye and full of fury," which reads like a Twitter-review of a rock concert.
