This November 11, the ESA will land a spacecraft on comet 67P/C-G. Many of you have probably been wondering just how big this thing is relative to a major US city.
Well...

4 billion years after the ESA lands on Comet 67P/C-G, the Andromeda Galaxy will collide with our own Milky Way. A third spiral galaxy in our Local Group, the Triangulum, will remain on the sidelines.
You're probably already asking yourself, who's gonna collect on that cockfight?
Well...
Actually, the Milky Way is the most massive, so all bets are off.

Seattle. Interestingly, the probe is already sniffing the comet. It smells like ammonia, vinegar, and rotten eggs.
Seattle just smells like weed and mildew.
