Our Milky Way is one of more than 100 galaxies bound together by gravity.

Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum ...

Astronomers have long predicted that a collision between our galaxy and nearby Andromeda could be inevitable, but new ...

Meet The Satellite Galaxies The Milky Way is not alone. It exists with over 50 other galaxies called the Local Group, which also includes Andromeda.

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

Thanks to that, simulations of the Local Group of galaxies can be made more accurate, and the future of the Milky Way can be worked out with more certainty. The study is published in Nature Astronomy.

“The Milky Way will merge with Andromeda and their respective smaller dwarf galaxies in the next 2.5 billion years and while there has been a lot of research into what’s happening in our Local ...

The cluster spans some 10 million light-years, about the same diameter as our Local Group of galaxies, which contains fewer than 100 galaxies. The brightest galaxy in Abell 2256, NGC 6331, glows ...
