Astronomers have surveyed massive, dense star factories, unlike any found in the Milky Way, in a large number of galaxies ...

It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported June 2 that the probability of the two spiral g ...

For years, astronomers have predicted a dramatic fate for our galaxy: a head-on collision with Andromeda, our nearest large ...

Astronomers now believe the Milky Way’s “inevitable” collision with a neighboring galaxy is much less likely than originally thought.

The Milky Way may merge with the Large Magellanic Cloud in 2 billion years, not Andromeda, contrary to previous findings.

Even if the Milky Way and Andromeda don’t collide in the next 10 billion years, though, that won’t be the end of the story.

Scientists previously predicted the pair of galaxies would merge in about five billion years. Now, research suggests that ...

A new study published in Nature Astronomy by researchers from Durham University calls into question the long-held notion that ...

The result, announced in a new report publishing in the Astrophysical Journal, marks the latest in a long-running controversy over the Hubble constant, a key measure of the universe's age and ...

We combined optical Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys photometry, from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury survey, with Keck/DEIMOS spectra, from the Spectroscopic and ...
