A new research effort supports the idea that the Milky Way is headed for a massive collision, and when that happens it could dramatically affect our Solar System and perhaps even Earth itself.

This stunning image of NGC 6951 is captured by NASA's Hubble Telescope. It is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cepheus. It is located at a distance of about 75 million light-years ...

The Milky Way has a 50-50 chance of colliding with ... Vesto Slipher discovered Andromeda galaxy's possible collision course with our own in 1912, when he found that Andromeda's light was doppler ...

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 ...

If that’s the case, then the Milky Way and Andromeda, thought to be on a collision course in about four billion years, could already be interacting. The headline finding from the research is ...

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 ...

And, the gas fleeting from that collision course is twice as close to the Milky Way than originally estimated. The discovery was shared during the American Astronomical Society (AAS) conference on ...

ESA’s decade-long Milky Way Gaia mapping mission still has tons of data to release over the next few years. Expect surprises.

The future of galaxies remains one of the most interesting topics for experts. In fact, they will not survive the passage of time. Of course, we are not talking about decades, but ...

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 ...
