Our own Milky Way is headed for a collision of its own. In around four billion years the Milky Way is expected to collide with the Andromeda galaxy. You have to assume that by that point mankind ...

An ambitious new survey by the Hubble Space Telescope offers the first bird's-eye view of all known dwarf galaxies orbiting the Andromeda galaxy. The data suggests Andromeda had a chaotic past unlike ...

Astronomers have discovered Andromeda XXXV, the smallest and faintest known galaxy, located 3 million light-years away. It challenges existing models of galaxy formation, as similar small galaxies ...

The inexorable tug of gravity that enabled the formation of the Milky Way has also put us on a collision course with our neighboring galaxy, Andromeda. Recent observations confirm that Andromeda ...
