HILO (HawaiiNewsNow) - What happens when two galaxies collide? A Hilo astronomer is helping answer that question and predict the future of the Milky Way. Dr. Pierre Martin and his team created an ...

The Milky Way may not always have faced the same direction. New simulations suggest its stellar disc could have swung through space by more than 90 degrees after an ancient collision, helping explain ...

A new study using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope finds that star formation in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has undergone a 500-million-year decline, with an even steeper drop in the last 40 ...

At a distance of 2.5 million light years from the Milky Way, it’s hard to believe that Andromeda is our closest neighbouring galaxy. But despite the huge distance between these two elliptical entities ...

The Milky Way and Andromeda have appeared locked on a destructive course for decades. Now, thousands of simulations suggest their collision is not destiny, but a contest between gravity, uncertain ...
