Discover the surprising findings of new research on the potential collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. Are we facing an inevitable merger, or is it less likely than previously thought? Explore the latest insights from astronomers.


The Future of the Milky Way and Andromeda: Collision or Merger?

Astronomers have long anticipated a cosmic event where the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies collide. Previous studies, including one by NASA, predicted this merger would begin in 4.5 billion years, lasting for another 2 to 3 billion years. However, a recent study from the University of Helsinki introduces a new perspective, suggesting that the probability of such a collision may not be as high as previously thought. Instead of an inevitable collision, the study indicates that there is only a 50% chance that the two galaxies will merge.
