The team found only a 2 percent probability that the galaxies will collide in the next five billion years. In slightly over half of the simulated scenarios, Andromeda and the Milky Way experience at ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has peered through cosmic dust to reveal new details and a stunning image of a rare type of galaxy. The space observatory's latest image shows the Cartwheel galaxy, a ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered a new kind of galactic portrait, revealing a luminous thread of gas and newborn ...

Two galaxies are merging in the deep cosmos. And the James Webb Space Telescope just captured a vivid view of the scene. The interacting galaxies, called Arp 107, collided hundreds of millions of ...

The Milky Way looks serene from our vantage point, a hazy river of light arcing across the night sky. Yet the stars that make up that glow are quietly telling a more dramatic story, one in which our ...

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 ...

Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum plaguing the standard model of cosmology. New observations of a pair of ...

Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA has captured new insight into a black hole duo found at the center of two colliding galaxies. The two supermassive black holes ...

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies may not collide. Collision probability depends on the inclusion of nearby galaxies in calculations. Current measurements of galaxy masses have significant ...
