Humans confirmed the existence of other galaxies surprisingly late. Only 100 years ago, in fact, when Edwin Hubble found a ...

The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy may already be colliding after it was discovered that galaxies may have gas halos far ...

The Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbor, glows brightly in a new Hubble Space Telescope image with ...

Today, astronomers have measured the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy much more precisely; they find it to be about 2 1/2 million light years away. It is a majestic spiral-shaped galaxy ...

our galaxy will collide with the galaxy Andromeda, and the two will merge. Recently, a group of scientists has challenged the certainty of that statement using new, gold-standard measurements.

That’s almost half the distance to Andromeda. Have you ever seen the Andromeda galaxy? Go outside after dark this month and look high up in the northeast sky and you’ll find the W-shaped ...

Clusters of stars set the interstellar medium ablaze in the Andromeda galaxy about 2.5 million light-years away. Also known as M31, Andromeda is the Milky Way's closest major galaxy. It measures ...

Yet, it too, may be destined to collide and merge with an even bigger galaxy: Andromeda. Though galaxy collisions are normal events and NASA suspects this collision is inevitable (in billions of ...

The spiral Andromeda galaxy is our closest neighbor, sitting 2.5 million light-years away. The consensus was that after circling ever closer for billions of years, the two galaxies would collide. News ...

The Andromeda galaxy, moving towards the Milky Way at 110 km/s, might collide with our galaxy in 10 billion years. New research using Gaia and Hubble data suggests that gravitational forces from ...

The rosy red structures of a nearby galaxy glow brightly in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The Andromeda Galaxy — the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbor — is located about 2.5 ...
