New research has cast doubt on the long-held theory that our galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with its largest neighbour, the Andromeda galaxy, in 4.5 billion years-time. Scientists used data from NASA’s Hubble and the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescopes to simulate how the Milky Way, Andromeda and their most massive satellite galaxies could evolve over the next 10 billion years. They found that there is only a 2% probability that the galaxies will collide in the next 5 billion ye

100,000 computer simulations reveal Milky Way's fate—and it might not be what we thought. It's been textbook knowledge for over a century that our Milky Way galaxy is doomed to collide with another large spiral galaxy, Andromeda, in the next five billion years and merge into one even bigger galaxy. But a fresh analysis published in the journal Nature Astronomy is casting that longstanding narrative in a more uncertain light. The authors conclude that the likelihood of this collision and merger

For over a decade, researchers have suggested a high possibility of our Milky Way galaxy smashing into neighboring galaxy Andromeda around 5 billion years from now. The collision would merge the two galaxies into a single (very creatively named) “Milkomeda”—but new research now indicates that this is less likely than previously assumed. Integrating new data from the Gaia and Hubble telescopes, an international team of researchers has simulated our galaxy’s movement for the next 10 billion years

We're inching ever closer towards unearthing the secrets behind one of the most enduring marine mysteries: the fabled "milky seas" — glowing stretches of water that cast the ocean in an otherworldly haze of green and white, spanning to the horizon and beyond. The nocturnal phenomenon has haunted and mystified sailors for centuries. But they're incredibly rare, and scientists have struggled to determine what causes them. The milky seas are believed to be produced by some form of bioluminescence,

A group of astronomers has discovered the smallest, dimmest satellite galaxy bordering the Milky Way’s nearest galactic neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy. The itsy-bitsy satellite galaxy is named Andromeda XXXV and sits about 3 million light-years from Earth. The discovery of the galaxy gives astronomers a useful comparative tool for studying satellite galaxies on the outskirts of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. The team’s findings were published this week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. “It
