Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two spiral galaxies colliding is less than previously thought, with a 50-50 chance within the next 10 billion years. That's essentially a coin ...

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

New data show a 50% chance the Milky Way won't collide with Andromeda. ... that suggests the Milky Way and Andromeda may not be on a collision course ... Earth's oceans as it does so ...

Astronomers have long thought that the Milky Way is headed for an inevitable crash with its neighbor, Andromeda. But a new study complicates the story.

"The fact that there is only around a 50-50 chance of a merger was very surprising." ...

A collision between our Milky Way galaxy and its largest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years, has been anticipated by astronomers since 1912.

The team found only a 2 percent probability that the galaxies will collide in the next five billion years. In slightly over half of the simulated scenarios, Andromeda and the Milky Way experience at ...

A study published in Nature Astronomy suggests that there is a 50-50 chance of the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy colliding in the next 10 billion years. The study used observations from the ...

The idea that the Milky Way and Andromeda are on a collision course goes back more than a century ... Even if a merger does happen, it's unlikely to be catastrophic for Earth. Stars in galaxies are ...
