A collision between the Milky Way and neighboring galaxy Andromeda is far from a sure thing; in fact, it could hinge on the flip of a cosmic coin.

A collision between our Milky Way galaxy and its largest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years, has been anticipated by astronomers since 1912.

The Milky Way was on a collision course with a neighboring galaxy. Not anymore. NASA scientists had forecast an impending crash in four billion years, sending the sun flying ...

A collision between the Milky Way and neighboring galaxy Andromeda is far from a sure thing; in fact, it could hinge on the flip of a cosmic coin.

There’s now a 50-50 chance this galaxy will crash into ours. Astronomers have long thought that the Milky Way is headed for an inevitable crash with its neighbor, Andromeda.

It's a fun fact pulled out at parties by every space nerd on the block — our Milky Way galaxy is going to crash into our nearest neighbour (the Andromeda galaxy) in 5 billion years.

Located roughly 2.5 million light-years away, the Andromeda (M31) galaxy is approaching our Milky Way at a speed of 68 miles per second (110 kilometers per second).

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all.. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two ...

Past theories put a collision between the two—resulting in a new elliptical galaxy dubbed Milkomeda—as probable if not inevitable. Some predictions had that happening within 5 billion years ...

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 ...
