When Milky Way and Andromeda Collide, Earth Could Find Itself Far From HomeJR Minkel
and light takes a cosmologically tiny two million years to get between them. With Andromeda no longer considered the Milky Way’s big brother, new simulations are needed to find out what will happen when the two galaxies eventually collide. ...
After about 5 billion years, the Milky Way will be no more. Our galaxy is set to collide with our neighbor Andromeda to create the so-called Milkomeda galaxy. Astronomer Lauranne Lanz of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., is part of a team that has assemble...

The article discusses the results of studies of the Andromeda Galaxy using the Hubble space telescopes which predict that spiral galaxies will crash together in about 4 billion years, with the Milky Way and Andromeda colliding to form one gigant...
