Wow! That's really an emergency situation 
Beautiful color on the impact point - I imagine this is a moment frozen in time - before the total destruction that is about to occur

Scientifically talking this is all wrong. The gravity of the two planets would make them wider and at this moment the smaller would ahve bigger fences. But anyway, this looks great! Art doesn't need to be scientific acurate.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I agree it's pretty off. This was painted before I started taking the science aspect of my work seriously.

Hehe. 
You can see in this picture... [link]
The bigger planet is deformed.
But anyway this looks awesome as I said. Brilliant work!

Does seem to make more of an impact than before. Did you make it more "vivid" and increase some of the contrasts between elements (i.e. bottom left nebulae and the transition into the impactee's umbra)?

I tweaked the background colors so they blended to black better, added some warmer hues and adjusted the main planet shading so it looked a little more spherical.

I purchased a print of the old version a few years back. It still hangs in my room.

It is a wonderful image and beautifully rendered, but I think that both bodies would be quite disturbed and destroyed-looking from tidal forces, even before collision, in such close proximity.

Entirely possible. At the time I made this (four years ago) I was far less concerned with such things... if I paint a new one in the future however, good notes to keep in mind.

Reminds me of the GIMP 2.6 startup background.
Which in turn reminds me that I promised my friend that I'd do something for her...

Your art is really cool.
But as far as natural disasters go, that would really suck.
