Scientists have detected a “Great Wave” which is traveling across the Milky Way galaxy’s centre and responsible for pushing ...
Will the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies collide in several billion years? The odds have changed with a new study using ...
In the vast universe, a grand event spanning billions of years is quietly brewing—the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will stage a stunning 'interstellar collision' in 3.7 billion years. This ...
Our Milky Way galaxy never sits still: it rotates and wobbles. And now, data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space ...
The collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda, long considered inevitable, might ultimately not occur. Recent simulations challenge this prediction, opening new perspectives on our galaxy's fate.
Countless stars in the Milky Way are being raised and lowered by a gigantic wave. This was discovered using data from the ...
