What does it look like when galaxies collide? The Hubble Telescope captured a unique sight as two galaxies are in the process of merging. NASA says the galaxy, called NGC 1614, is about 200 million ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Milky Way could, relatively soon, collide with a neighboring galaxy. A new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy found that there is a 50-50 chance that the Milky Way and ...

Here are seven of the most beautiful interacting galaxy images captured by NASA Hubble Space Telescope, showcasing the ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, bright spot near a ...

It’s been textbook knowledge for over a century that our Milky Way galaxy is doomed to collide with another large spiral galaxy, Andromeda, in the next 5 billion years and merge into one even bigger ...

In this combination of images from NASA/ESA shows three future scenarios for Milky Way & Andromeda encounter. Top left: Galaxies bypass at 1 million light-year separation. Top right: At 500,000 ...

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 ...

For decades, astronomers have said of our Milky Way galaxy is headed for an inevitable, head-on collision with its colossal neighbor, Andromeda, in approximately 4.5 billion years. This collision, ...

The collision between the Milky Way and Andromeda, long considered inevitable, might ultimately not occur. Recent simulations challenge this prediction, opening new perspectives on our galaxy's fate.

A new image from NASA's Hubble telescope shows spiral galaxy ESO 137-001 slamming through the Norma Cluster, spewing streams of gas in a fiery collision, and it's providing excellent fodder for ...
