Milky Way and Andromeda Near Collision
Reading
The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not crash. Astronomers now think a crash is less likely than they thought. There is now a 50-50 chance of a crash in 10 billion years.
This new idea is good news for the Milky Way galaxy. But people will likely not see this happen. The Sun will die in about 5 billion years from now.
Scientists used new data from space telescopes. They studied the possible future of the Milky Way and Andromeda. The galaxies have crashed before, and a crash seemed very likely.
Past ideas said a crash was very possible and maybe soon. This crash would make a new galaxy called Milkomeda. The new study uses updated galaxy data to think about gravity.
Scientists still need to learn more about galaxies. The sun's future is certain, but not the galaxy's. People might end before the sun dies, without help from space.
