"As it stands, proclamations of the impending demise of our Galaxy seem greatly exaggerated." That's the conclusion scientists have reached after revisiting the possibility of what we thought was a ...

More than a decade ago, scientists predicted our Milky Way galaxy and neighboring Andromeda would collide in four billion years, resulting in a “makeover” of our solar system. Now, that is unlikely — ...

Astronomers have believed for decades that the Milky Way is on a collision course with our nearest big neighbor, Andromeda. They seemed all but certain the two galaxies were destined to smash in about ...

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.

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 ...

Scientists have long thought the Milky Way galaxy would someday collide with its closest neighbor, Andromeda. However, new research suggests the future of our cosmic home is more uncertain than ...

Astronomers believe the two galaxies may collide in next 10 billion years Theory based on data from Hubble Space Telescope and Gaia star-tracking mission 'In short, the probability went from ...

For decades, astronomers have said of our Milky Way galaxy is headed for an inevitable, head-on collision with its colossal neighbor, Andromeda, in approximately 4.5 billion years. This collision, ...

The Andromeda galaxy lies just beyond (...OK, about 2.5 million light-years beyond) our galaxy, the Milky Way. These galaxies are more than just neighbors: They're gravitationally bound. And for the ...
