Those pieces have been in place for a while, and until now, even the more complex studies that took M33 and LMC into account have asserted that a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda is certain. But according to the authors of this new study, even they were missing somethin...

Many speculated that the images showed a violent collision between two neutron stars (the remnants of dead stars). These violent collisions rarely occur so close to the Milky Way, and they captured the attention of many on Twitter, with the hashtag "GRBm31." Andromeda is known as galaxy m3...
The article discusses the possible collision between the Milky Way Galaxy and Andromeda. Andromeda is approaching the Milky Way with a speed of about 120 kilometers per second. In 1959 Franz Kahn and Lodewijk Woltjer suggested that maybe the Andromeda and Milky Way are gravitationally bound, ...

On a Collision Course Closing in on the Milky Way, theAndromedagalaxy is set to crash into our part of the cosmos in about four billion years. The origin of the Moon These collisions arenot unusualin cosmic history. In fact, colliding galaxies are one of the most important drivers ofstar...
Of course, Andromeda is not the only thing that could collide with the Milky Way. There is currently a large cloud of hydrogen gas on a collision course with the Milky Way and though the edge of the cloud is already interacting with our galaxy, it won’t set off star-forming fireworks ...

Scientists discovered the Andromeda galaxy, known as M31, hundreds of years ago, and around a century ago, we realized that it had negative radial velocity toward the Milky Way. In other words, eventually, the two galaxies would merge spectacularly. That has been common knowledge for astronomers...
