Now I believe the sun will be gone by the time Andromeda and the Milky Way collide (don't remember how far into the future this is going to happen)
The 2 galaxies will "collide" approx. 6 billion years from now, which is about the same time our sun will be in its red giant phase, possibly engulfing the Earth.
