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 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 ...

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 ...

Like blazing campfires on cold winter nights, galaxies are surrounded by a smoke of gas and dust that blows into the shadows. This thin pall of material is known as the circumgalactic medium, a ...

The Andromeda Galaxy, our Milky Way’s closest neighbour, lies about 2.5 million light-years away. Spanning roughly 152,000 light-years in diameter, Andromeda is nearly as massive as the Milky Way.

The Andromeda Galaxy, also called Messier 31 or M31, is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It is 2.5 million light years away from Earth and is the other major member of the Local Group, our ...

If so, the implications could very well mean that the Milky Way's long predicted future collision with the Andromeda galaxy may have already commenced – at least in terms of the two circumgalactic ...
