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 ...

A newly revealed cosmic image shows two galaxy clusters colliding as one. Nicknamed the Champagne Cluster, it offers rare ...

In a groundbreaking astronomical discovery, researchers have unveiled a cosmic event of immense scale: a trio of galaxies, each hosting a supermassive black hole, is on a collision course. Located ...

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 ...

Scientists from Helsinki, Durham and Toulouse universities used data from NASA's Hubble and the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescopes to simulate how the Milky Way and Andromeda will evolve ...

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 ...

As the Large Magellanic Cloud drifts closer to the Milky Way, its newly discovered black hole may one day encounter ...

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 effect has been seen in previously unheard-of detail in the nearby galaxy ...

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 ...

Examples of merging galaxies containing a heavily obscured growing supermassive black hole observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The top panels show nearby galaxies at ~500 million light-years from ...
