Researchers have long thought that the Milky Way would collide with the Andromeda galaxy in four to five billion years. This scientific illustration depicts Earth's horizon four billion years in the ...

The team found only a 2 percent probability that the galaxies will collide in the next five billion years. In slightly over half of the simulated scenarios, Andromeda and the Milky Way experience at ...

Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from ...

A flat plane of dark matter beyond the Local Group may explain why nearby galaxies move away from us instead of falling ...

In recent groundbreaking research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists from the University of Queensland have provided insights into the likely fate of our galaxy ...

In the close Universe, the distance typically is a predictor of speed: more distant galaxies recede more rapidly. Another ...

For years, astronomers have believed that the fate of the Milky Way was tied to our largest neighboring galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy. However, a new study now says that this future Milky Way merger ...

It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two spiral galaxies colliding is ...
