Our solar system might get booted from the suburbs to the boondocks of our galaxy when the Milky Way merges with its neighbor Andromeda in a few billion years, scientists say.

Astronomers have long predicted that a collision between our galaxy and nearby Andromeda could be inevitable, but new ...

Our Milky Way is bound for a head-on collision with the similar-sized Andromeda galaxy, researchers announced today (May 31).

The Milky Way galaxy is bound for a head-on collision with the Andromeda galaxy 4 billion years from now, researchers working with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope announced May 31. Over time, they ...

More than a decade ago, scientists predicted our Milky Way galaxy and neighboring Andromeda would collide in four billion years, resulting in a “makeover” of our solar system. Now, that is ...

You might wonder what would happen if our disk-shaped spiral galaxy were to one day collide with Andromeda, which is over twice the size of the Milky Way. Astronomers anticipate such a cosmic ...

The Milky Way is destined to get a major makeover during the encounter with Andromeda, but our solar system is in no danger of being destroyed. Computer simulations derived from Hubble's data show ...

Astronomers predict that in about four billion years, the Andromeda galaxy will collide with our own galaxy, the Milky Way.

The Andromeda galaxy will inevitably collide with our own Milky Way. Will that be the end?

Our Milky Way galaxy will survive in its current form a bit longer than some astronomers had thought, a new study suggests.The monster collision between our Milky Way and fellow spiral galaxy ...

Researchers estimate that the Milky Way will collide with its nearest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, at around that time—well before the sun collapses into a white dwarf, perhaps destroying the ...

Traveling at 68 miles per second, a nearby galaxy is still coming to consume us, just 600 million years later than expected.
