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 ...

In roughly 4 billion years, our home Milky Way galaxy may collide with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. We are approaching Andromeda at roughly 250,000 miles per hour, and scientists have ...

A collision between the Milky Way and neighboring galaxy Andromeda is far from a sure thing; in fact, it could hinge on the flip of a cosmic coin.

Our galaxy may not collide with its neighbour after all, suggests new research. For over a century, astronomers believed a dramatic collision between Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies was inevitable.

Andromeda XXXV is only about 20,000 times more massive than our Sun—very small, even for a satellite galaxy. For comparison, the Milky Way’s mass is about 1.5 trillion solar masses, and the ...

By studying Andromeda's motion through telltale signs from the light it emanates, astronomers first predicted back in 1912 that the galaxy is on a collision course with our own Milky Way ...

For years, astronomers have predicted a dramatic fate for our galaxy: a head-on collision with Andromeda, our nearest large galactic neighbor. This merger—expected in about 5 billion years—has ...
