Milky Way disk flip simulations from Durham University's NAM 2026 presentation show the Milky Way's galactic disk flipped more than 90 degrees after a head-on collision with the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus ...

The Milky Way may not always have faced the same direction. New simulations suggest its stellar disc could have swung through ...

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 ...

The Milky Way’s future is tied to Andromeda, the massive galaxy slowly moving toward us. Over billions of years, the ...

Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from Germany, France and Sweden show that most of the (dark) matter beyond the Local ...

For decades, astronomers wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: our galaxy sits in a ...

Published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the study analyses, using simulations, how galaxy collisions can completely or partially destroy stellar discs. Together with ...
