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

The Milky Way-Andromeda collision has been predicted by scientists for years, occurring in an estimated timeframe of about 4.5 billion years. The predicted fusion of the two galaxies has been ...

A new simulation suggests the possible head-on collision of our Milky Way galaxy with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy comes down to a coin flip.

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.

A new European study out Monday throws into question conventional wisdom that the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are on a collision course that will take out our galaxy and the solar system with it.

The Andromeda galaxy got its peculiar ring-like spiral arms in a collision with a dwarf galaxy around 900 million years ago, a computer simulation suggests. The insight may help astronomers to ...

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 ...

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.

Our galactic neighbor the Andromeda galaxy is on a collision course with our own Milky Way galaxy, according to new observations.

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA astronomers predict that the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies will collide in 4 billion years.

The Andromeda galaxy will inevitably collide with our own Milky Way. Will that be the end?
