For nearly a century, astronomers have known that the universe is expanding. Most galaxies are carried outward with the flow ...

There's a 50% chance that the predicted head-on collision will end in a galactic merger, according to a new study. Reading time 2 minutes For decades, astronomers have predicted that, in approximately ...

"As it stands, proclamations of the impending demise of our Galaxy seem greatly exaggerated." That's the conclusion scientists have reached after revisiting the possibility of what we thought was a ...

The chance that our Milky Way Galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy may not be as certain as previously thought, according to researchers, who say that a new simulation has found a 50% chance ...

A new study found that there was only a 2% probability of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies colliding. Photo by NASA ESA Z. Levay and R. van der Marel, STScI T. Hallas and A. Mellinger May 30 (UPI) ...

Will the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies collide in several billion years? The odds have changed with a new study using 100,000 supercomputer simulations. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center ...

Astronomers have long thought the Milky Way was destined to merge with the nearby Andromeda galaxy. The aftermath of this predicted clash has been dubbed “Milkomeda,” and researchers predicted it ...

It may come down to a coin toss as to whether the Milky Way collides with the Andromeda Galaxy within 10 billion years. While scientists have previously reported that a convergence was certain, an ...

ESA’s Gaia satellite has looked beyond our galaxy and explored two nearby galaxies to reveal the stellar motions within them and how they will one day interact and collide with the Milky Way — with ...

The distance between the Milky Way and Andromeda in 50 simulations. Just slightly more than half of orbits result in a Milky Way - Andromeda collision within 10 billion years. Sharp features in ...

Don’t look now, but a head-on intergalactic collision is in our distant future. From observations, astronomers know that the Andromeda Galxay (M31) — the nearest large galaxy — is moving toward our ...
