For the first time, scientists have the calculations and simulations to explain mysterious flashes from the galaxy OJ 287. Roughly twice every 12 years, from 3.5 billion light years away, the light ...

Published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the study analyses, using simulations, how galaxy collisions can completely or partially destroy stellar discs. Together with ...

Despite the previous belief that our galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda would eventually merge in about 5 billion years, forming what they call Lactomed, a new analysis has reached a different ...

A recent paper reveals we're almost certainly going to collide with a galaxy in the next couple billion years, but it's not the one we thought. Reading time 2 minutes For over a decade, researchers ...

The chance that our Milky Way Galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy may not be as certain as previously thought, according to researchers, who say that a new simulation has found a 50% chance ...

For decades, astronomers have said of our Milky Way galaxy is headed for an inevitable, head-on collision with its colossal neighbor, Andromeda, in approximately 4.5 billion years. This collision, ...

Scientists from Helsinki, Durham and Toulouse universities used data from NASA’s Hubble and the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescopes to simulate how the Milky Way and Andromeda will evolve ...

Billions of years ago, our galaxy experienced a cosmic smash-up that may have completely reshaped the Milky Way’s rotating stellar disk. This ancient galactic collision, now traced back to roughly 11 ...
