Hundreds of clusters of galaxies are streaming en masse towards a region at the edge of the visible universe. The discovery has taken astronomers completely by surprise because the movement is independent of the universe's expansion.

It's happening a billion light years away, OF. I think we'll be safe from its effects for a decade or two. :)

“Some are speeding away at about 1000 kilometres per second,”

"This motion extends all the way to at least a billion light years, and perhaps longer,"

“The Bullet Cluster of galaxies, which lies 3.8 billion light-years away,”

OF,
Don't lose any sleep over it, it won't happen for a day or two yet!

3.8 billion light-years away

We should get some early warning of it coming our way probably by the year 3,800,002,007.
