Tobias, If we mark our position today we can check when we get back to it.

I learned something new today.. I thought I read somewhere a few yrs ago or watched it.. it was either that the milky way and Andromeda are heading toward each other or Andromeda is heading toward a black hole or Andromeda is set to collide with another galaxy (or collide with something) --- has been a few yrs since I read or watched it and not going to Google it atm

who counted is a good question. this orbit interval is recorded in ancient Hindu texts and we have just estimated it recently.
