NASA's Chandra Observatory has combined different wavelength images of the Andromeda galaxy to honor astronomer Vera Rubin, and then created a music video by converting the light in those images to ...

For years, scientists have predicted that in about 3.75 billion years, our Milky Way galaxy would collide with its massive neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. This cataclysmic event was thought to be a ...

Space & Spaceflight New Images Show Andromeda Galaxy as You’ve Never Seen It Before The closest galactic relative to the Milky Way helped astronomers discover dark matter in the 1960's.

A new composite image of the Andromeda Galaxy is offering an unprecedented view of our closest spiral galactic neighbor.

The Andromeda galaxy is also known as Messier 31. It is a spiral galaxy located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth. On a clear night, some stars of the galaxy can be seen from Earth.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory provides a new look at the Andromeda galaxy in this multi-wavelength image that includes X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, infrared, and radio images and illustrates the ...

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

Milky Way's chance of colliding with Andromeda? New study puts odds at 50-50 For this new study, the scientists relied on updated galaxy measurements to factor in the gravitational pull on the ...

A collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, long considered inevitable, may be in question, astronomers say.
