The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group—the Milky Way (which contains the Solar System and Earth) and the Andromeda Galaxy.
For the two-body system, their calculation implied that a collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda would occur in about 50 percent of scenarios. In the three-body system with M33, that ...
English: This animation depicts the collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy. Hubble Space Telescope observations indicate that the two galaxies, pulled together by their mutual gravity, will crash together about 4 billion years from now.
Illustration of the collision path between the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at about 110 kilometres (68 miles) per second. [ 135 ] It has been measured approaching relative to the Sun at around 300 km/s (190 mi/s) [ 1 ] as the Sun orbits around the center of the galaxy at a speed of ...
NASA recently released images of the Andromeda galaxy, an empire of stars, that is the Milky Way galaxy's closest neighbor. This photo shows the Milky Way as seen from Black Balsam, mountain range ...
English: This illustration shows a stage in the predicted merger between our Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, as it will unfold over the next several billion years. In this image, representing Earth's night sky in 3.75 billion years, Andromeda (left) fills the field of view and begins to distort the Milky Way with tidal pull.
Current measurements suggest the Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at 100 to 140 km/s (220,000 to 310,000 mph). In 4.3 billion years, there may be an Andromeda–Milky Way collision, depending on the importance of unknown lateral components to
Known as the M31 Galaxy, Andromeda is the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way, located about 2.5 million light-years away. It contains over a trillion stars, and is one of the few galaxies ...
