The Milky Way may not have a catastrophic collision with another huge galaxy as has been predicted, computer simulations revealed yesterday, giving our

The Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy are currently hurtling through space toward each other at a speed of about 250,000 miles per hour (400,000 kph), setting up a possible future galactic collision that would wreck both of them.
