AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Milky Way could, relatively soon, collide with a neighboring galaxy. A new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy found that there is a 50-50 chance that the Milky Way and ...

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, ...

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 ...

It’s been textbook knowledge for over a century that our Milky Way galaxy is doomed to collide with another large spiral galaxy, Andromeda, in the next 5 billion years and merge into one even bigger ...

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.

New Hubble observations explain how blue straggler stars form, showing that binary systems in low-density clusters play a key role ...
