The collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda, long considered inevitable, might ultimately not occur. Recent simulations challenge this prediction, opening new perspectives on our galaxy's fate.

There’s now a 50-50 chance this galaxy will crash into ours. Astronomers have long thought that the Milky Way is headed for an inevitable crash with its neighbor, Andromeda.

Astronomer Vera Rubin, now honored on a U.S. quarter, transformed our understanding of the universe by uncovering powerful ...

“The extra mass of Andromeda’s satellite galaxy M33 pulls the Milky Way a little bit more towards it. However, we also show that the LMC pulls the Milky Way off the orbital plane and away from ...

A collision between our Milky Way galaxy and its largest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years, has been anticipated by astronomers since 1912.

Welcome To The Andromeda Galaxy. Andromeda is 2.5 million light years from the Milky Way. Cmosmically speaking, that's very close. It's home to at least a trillion stars.

For over a decade, researchers have suggested a high possibility of our Milky Way galaxy smashing into neighboring galaxy Andromeda around 5 billion years from now. The collision would merge the ...
