the Andromeda GalaxyThe Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group—the Milky Way (which contains the Solar System and Earth) and the Andromeda Galaxy.
The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are on a collision course. A computer model developed by scientists at the Museum shows that the pair is bound to crash in about three billion years and merge into a single elliptical galaxy.
There is no single point-object nearby massive enough for our galaxy to "orbit" around it. Our galaxy, along with Andromeda, and a handful of other galaxies, are bound together in what is known as the Local Group. Each galaxy is moving within the common gravitational field of the whole group.Jul 2, 2019
Located in the constellation of Hercules, about 230 million light-years away, NGC 6052 is a pair of colliding galaxies. They were first discovered in 1784 by William Herschel and were originally classified as a single irregular galaxy because of their odd shape.Mar 8, 2019
