There’s now a 50-50 chance this galaxy will crash into ours. Astronomers have long thought that the Milky Way is headed for an inevitable crash with its neighbor, Andromeda.

Previous research into the impending merger assumed that Andromeda’s transverse motion was small, making the potential for a Milky Way merger much higher. But the newest findings suggest otherwise.

New data show a 50% chance the Milky Way won't collide with Andromeda. A merger with the Large Magellanic Cloud is far more likely. Newsletters Games Share a News Tip ...
