Scientists from Helsinki, Durham and Toulouse universities used data from NASA's Hubble and the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescopes to simulate how the Milky Way and Andromeda will evolve over the next 10 billion years.

Experts at Durham University carried out 100,000 simulations of what catastrophe could happen if the Andromeda galaxy collides with the Milky Way.

In this scene, the nearer galaxy SDSS J020941.27+001558.4, is acting like a colossal magnifying glass in the sky. This allows scientists to see the even more distant galaxy, makin

Astronomers have long thought that the Milky Way is headed for a head-on crash with its neighbor, Andromeda. But a new study complicates the story.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers us the chance to see a distant galaxy now some 19.5 billion light-years from Earth (but appearing as it did around 11 billion years ago, when the galaxy was 5.

A massive barred spiral galaxy from the early Universe has stunned astronomers by forming stars at 300 times the rate of the Milky Way, without signs of a galactic collision. Using Webb and ALMA, researchers discovered that its bar structure,

Most elliptical galaxies can usually be found ... nobody is completely sure how these tidal-like shells formed around the galaxy. NASA’s Hubble space telescope has discovered some fantastic ...

A sparkling cloudscape is revealed by the Hubble Space Telescope, which used its instruments to capture multiple wavelengths when pointed at a dwarf galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. The spiral galaxy NGC 3596 is viewed face-on in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image that incorporates six different wavelengths of light.
