A hypothetical question, what if there was an anti sun, the same size as our sun, and the sun collide each other, what damage will it cause? will the entire milkyway evaporize? what is the energy output will be? or if an anti&nbsp;galaxy the size of milky way colide each other, what will happen? :) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<p>Well, antimatter/matter annihalition is almost straight E=MC2 conversion so...</p><p>The sun is 1.9891 &times;10<sup>30</sup>&nbsp;kg.</p><p>So...

These would likely sterilize the planets orbiting both stars and the damaged planets would mostly be ejected into galactic orbits. Orbiting colonies around nearby stars would likely have no survivors but planets several light years away with an atmosphere as thick as Earth, or thicker, would suffer little short term damage. Changes in the outer atmosphere might cause long term problems, such as loss of the ozone layer.&nbsp;A glancing blow might leave both&nbsp;stars with more than half their original mass. Even in a direct hit, some mass would likely escape anihilation perhaps leaving enough mass for two class m stars; one being an antimatter star.</p><p>When galaxies collide very few of the stars collide, but many stars and their planets would be perturbed into new orbits,&nbsp;Most of the&nbsp;anihilation would&nbsp;be gas clouds and nebula colliding&nbsp;and both galaxies would contine approximately on their original path,&nbsp;but slower.&nbsp; Neil&nbsp;</p>

<p>A scale of explosive energy release: http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3x.html#boom</p><p>10^47 is one order of magnitude above the third-largest item, energy released in neutrinos from a type II supernova.. The second next largest item on the scale is the largest of all, one estimation for the big bang, at 10^68 Joules.</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
