In recent groundbreaking research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists from the ...

In the team’s simulations, the spiral-shaped Triangulum galaxy’s gravity increased the chance of a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda, while the LMC decreased the chance of a clash ...

The impending merger of the two galaxies hints at what might be in store for the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy if and ...

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 ...

Previous research suggested that the upcoming collision between the two galaxies was inevitable, but a new study claims there’s a 50% chance the Milky Way could narrowly avoid Andromeda.

While the updated simulations don’t guarantee our Milky Way will avoid collision, they certainly give hope it might. Future research and more detailed data collection will likely clarify the ...

A collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, long considered inevitable, may be in question, astronomers say.

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 ...

Caption 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.

Astronomers have long considered it inevitable that our home galaxy, the Milky Way, will merge with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy within the next 5 billion years. However, a new simulation suggests ...
