Andromeda never looked as good as it does in a new image from the Chandra X-ray observatory and a range of powerful telescopes. A fitting tribute to dark matter pioneer Vera Rubin.

Our Milky Way galaxy is a cannibal.. It has grown by consuming other galaxies.Yet, it too, may be destined to collide and merge with an even bigger galaxy: Andromeda.Though galaxy collisions are ...

Our Milky Way galaxy will crash head-on into the Andromeda galaxy in billions of years. See how it may look from Earth in this series of artist views and NASA images.

A collision between our Milky Way galaxy and its largest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years, has been anticipated by astronomers since 1912.

“The extra mass of Andromeda’s satellite galaxy M33 pulls the Milky Way a little bit more towards it. However, we also show that the LMC pulls the Milky Way off the orbital plane and away from ...

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.

The Andromeda Galaxy, or M31, is the nearest large neighbor of our Milky Way, though it sits some 2.5 million light-years away. That makes it the most distant object regularly visible with the ...

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies during their future collision. (Image credit: ICRAR) The Andromeda galaxy is a giant spiral galaxy located only 2.5 million light-years away, making it visible ...

The knowledge that Andromeda is moving toward the Milky Way is core to our understanding of an expanding universe. Having four years previously figured out that Andromeda — a fuzzy blob to the ...

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 ...
