Since Andromeda and The Milky way belong to the same local group, it is highly likely that they are made of pretty much the same stuff ... ie matter, not anti-matter, and are simply bound by regular gravity. An earlier evaluation of the collision is at http://arxiv.org/abs/0705.1170 The

The Milky Way Galaxy should prepare to welcome the Andromeda Galaxy. By then, the universe will have expanded quite abit, and many of the nearby galaxies will have traveled considerably farther away from the Milky Way.

Planck's law desrcibes radiation from a blackbody, and what is a blackbody? Well it is a manufactured entity, a physical model and models don't necessarily correspond with the rest of reality. Come to think of it all natural law may simply be based on contrived models of reality. If we become

Most of the comments thus far assume that both galaxies are composed of normal matter and have no prior history together. NASA has no way of knowing this, nor do they know other relevant details - like the 'type' of matter. One simply cannot discuss this subject intelligently without reference
