For the first time, scientists have the calculations and simulations to explain mysterious flashes from the galaxy OJ 287. Roughly twice every 12 years, from 3.5 billion light years away, the light ...

A recent paper reveals we're almost certainly going to collide with a galaxy in the next couple billion years, but it's not the one we thought. Reading time 2 minutes For over a decade, researchers ...

The chance that our Milky Way Galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy may not be as certain as previously thought, according to researchers, who say that a new simulation has found a 50% chance ...

Durham University researchers find cataclysmic direct hit with Gaia Sausage sent Milky Way into its current position ...

An international team of researchers has used data from the Canada-France-Hawai’i Telescope (CFHT) on Maunakea to figure out how an ongoing collision between two galaxies will unfold. CFHT's Fourier ...

A stunning snapshot in time. The Artemis II crew captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Nasa.gov The galaxy arcing above you on a dark summer night may be pointing in an ...

New simulations suggest its stellar disc could have swung through space by more than 90 degrees after an ancient collision, helping explain why the galaxy’s surrounding halo turns so slowly. Most ...

Astronomers discovered the Milky Way was flipped on its side 10bn years ago after a direct collision with a dwarf galaxy, the Gaia Sausage, reshaping its structure.
