Astronomers have long predicted a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda, but new research suggests the fate of our galaxy is more uncertain than previously thought. A recent study shows only a 50% chance of merger within the next 10 billion years, revealing the complexities of galactic movement.
New simulations reveal that the Milky Way and Andromeda may not collide as expected. The chance of a merger has dropped to 50/50, raising questions about our galactic future.
Discover how the Gaia spacecraft transformed our understanding of the Milky Way, revealing its complex structure and history of galactic collisions. The mission has unveiled astonishing insights into our cosmic home.
