For years, astronomers have predicted a dramatic fate for our galaxy: a head-on collision with Andromeda, our nearest large ...

Scientists previously predicted the pair of galaxies would merge in about five billion years. Now, research suggests that ...

New data show a 50% chance the Milky Way won't collide with Andromeda. A merger with the Large Magellanic Cloud is far more ...

Astronomers have believed for decades that the Milky Way is on a collision course with our nearest big neighbor, Andromeda.

The long-proposed Milky Way and Andromeda galactic merger might not be as certain as astronomers previously believed.

"The fact that there is only around a 50-50 chance of a merger was very surprising." ...

Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies (M31) are part of what's known as the Local Group (LG), which also hosts other ...

The Milky Way may merge with the Large Magellanic Cloud in 2 billion years, not Andromeda, contrary to previous findings.

While previous research forecast it to occur roughly 4-4.5 billion years from now, a new study that uses recent observational ...

Astronomers now believe the Milky Way’s “inevitable” collision with a neighboring galaxy is much less likely than originally thought.

A recent paper reveals we're almost certainly going to collide with a galaxy in the next couple billion years, but it's not ...

The team found only a 2 percent probability that the galaxies will collide in the next five billion years. In slightly over ...
