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 unlikely — ...

Scientists have long thought the Milky Way galaxy would someday collide with its closest neighbor, Andromeda. However, new research suggests the future of our cosmic home is more uncertain than ...

This artist's illustration shows a stage in the predicted merger between our Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, as it will unfold over the next several billion years. In this image ...

When galaxies collide, it's not a gentle affair, but it does take millions of years. Over this time, the two massive star systems slowly merge together, their gravitational pull drawing them closer.

What does it look like when galaxies collide? The Hubble Telescope captured a unique sight as two galaxies are in the process of merging. NASA says the galaxy, called NGC 1614, is about 200 million ...

Astronomers have for the first time spotted two galaxies in the throes of a deep-space “duel.”Related video above: The dark energy pushing our universe apart may not be what it seems, scientists ...
