Astronomers deployed the Hubble Space Telescope over the course of a decade to conduct 600 separate observations to produce ...

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 ...

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 ...

Andromeda lies 2.5 million light-years away from the Milky Way, a spiral galaxy similar to our own that has allowed scientists to better understand our galactic home.

The spiral Andromeda galaxy is our closest neighbor, sitting 2.5 million light-years away. The consensus was that after circling ever closer for billions of years, the two galaxies would collide. News ...

For more than a century, astronomers have watched the Andromeda galaxy, a massive swirl of neighboring stars, speed toward the Milky Way. And in recent years, measurements using the Hubble Space ...

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 its largest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years, has been anticipated by astronomers since 1912.

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 ...
