In the dense heart of the Milky Way, not only does a supermassive black hole reign, but a cloud of stellar-mass black holes ...

Further studies predicted that Andromeda's eventual collision with our Milky Way was inevitable within the next 5 billion years — a process that would see our solar system catapulted to an outer ...

A strange energy source at the center of the Milky Way may be a new type of dark matter. Scientists found that hydrogen gas ...

An curved arrow pointing right. In 3.75 billion years, Earth's Milky Way Galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy. Over the next several billion years, the two galaxies will rip each other ...

Take a good, hard look at the Milky Way Galaxy in the image above - eventually, this view will be completely destroyed by a collision of galactic proportions. Earth itself will survive ...

Galaxies grow through collisions but it is rare to catch one in the process, and extremely rare to see a bull's-eye collision in progress. Fewer than 20 systems with complete rings are known.

A Swarm of Dwarf Galaxies Buzz Around Our Milky Way's Twin Imagine the Milky Way and Andromeda as two massive aircraft ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Astronomers have discovered a massive cloud of gas that's on a collision course with our home galaxy, the Milky Way. What will happen when it slams into our galaxy ...

"Everything scattered in the Andromeda system is very asymmetric and perturbed. It does appear that something significant happened not too long ago," Weisz said. "Our work has shown that low-mass ...

A collision with close by galaxy could open the Milky Way galaxy's black hole which could result in our solar system hurling into space. However, this collision could take up to two billion years ...

Situated approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth, the Andromeda Galaxy is the closest major galaxy to the Milky Way, belonging to the Local Group cluster. It is a barred spiral galaxy ...
