Stellar monsters do not collide: No hope for a spectacular catastrophe

more »

One might expect that collisions between the remains of monstrous stars, with masses reaching 200-300 times that of our Sun, would be among the most spectacular phenomena in the Universe. Perhaps they are, but we will unfortunately probably never have the chance to find out. Astrophysicists have discovered that the first such collisions will not occur until billions of years from now.
