Milky Way galaxy might not collide with Andromeda after all
SMRTR summary
New analysis challenges the long-held belief that the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide in 5 billion years. Using data from Hubble and Gaia telescopes, researchers conducted 100,000 simulations, finding only a 50% chance of collision within 10 billion years. This revised prediction alters our understanding of the galaxy's future, with implications for long-term cosmic evolution studies.
