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 ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has peered through cosmic dust to reveal new details and a stunning image of a rare type of galaxy. The space observatory's latest image shows the Cartwheel galaxy, a ...

Scientists have long thought the Milky Way galaxy would someday collide with its closest neighbor, Andromeda. However, new research suggests the future of our cosmic home is more uncertain than ...

Two galaxies are merging in the deep cosmos. And the James Webb Space Telescope just captured a vivid view of the scene. The interacting galaxies, called Arp 107, collided hundreds of millions of ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered a new kind of galactic portrait, revealing a luminous thread of gas and newborn ...

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies may not collide. Collision probability depends on the inclusion of nearby galaxies in calculations. Current measurements of galaxy masses have significant ...

A truly amazing moment where the 'intergalactic sonic boom' occurs when five galaxies collide at 2,000,000 mph. The striking ...

Cosmic chaos: In a galaxy far, far away, two humongous black holes are going head-to-head in a gravitational grappling match. NASA's iconic Hubble telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory just ...

Astronomers usually detect black holes by looking for X-rays. When gas and dust fall toward a black hole, they heat up and ...

According to the prevailing “cold dark matter” theory of the evolution of the universe, every galaxy is surrounded by a halo of dark matter that can only be detected indirectly by observing its ...
