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 ...

The Milky Way looks serene from our vantage point, a hazy river of light arcing across the night sky. Yet the stars that make ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has peered through cosmic dust to reveal new details and a stunning image of a rare type of galaxy. The space observatory's latest image shows the Cartwheel galaxy, a ...

Will the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies collide in several billion years? The odds have changed with a new study using ...

Two galaxies are merging in the deep cosmos. And the James Webb Space Telescope just captured a vivid view of the scene. The interacting galaxies, called Arp 107, collided hundreds of millions of ...

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 ...

In a corner of space 290 million light-years from Earth, we're getting to see something truly epic in action. There, four galaxies are closely interacting, the region filled with the detritus of past ...

Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum plaguing the standard model of cosmology. New observations of a pair of ...

A potential dark galaxy — one made primarily of dark matter — may have been spotted in the local universe. Dark galaxies are theoretical, starless systems whose discovery could help astronomers better ...

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies may not collide. Collision probability depends on the inclusion of nearby galaxies in calculations. Current measurements of galaxy masses have significant ...
