    The Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest neighbouring spiral galaxy. Our galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in 3-5 billion years. The Milky Way contains around three hundred billion stars, and the Andromeda galaxy is over twice as massive with a trillion stars, but the space between stars is so immense that any kind of direct collision is near impossible. Space is big

Japanese Wisteria Tunnel

These photos were taken at the Kawachi Fuji Garden, about a four hour drive from Tokyo, but there are wisteria festivals all over Japan, including at the Kameido-Tenjin Shrine, where tourists in the Edo period often visited the famous wisteria; the Wake Wisteria Park, in Wake-cho, Okayama, and at Ashikaga Flower Park, which has three massive wisteria trellises that extend 3,280 feet squared. (Time Out Tokyo has a list of additional notable wisteria around the city worth visiting.)
