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 ...
Astronomers have estimated the Milky Way Galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 4.5 billion years. Some think the two spiral galaxies will eventually merge to become an elliptical galaxy whose gravitational interactions will fling various celestial bodies outward, evicting them from the resulting elliptical galaxy.

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.
