Milky Way and Andromedia Fated Collision Might Not Happen, Reveals New Study
Recent research has cast doubt on the certainty of the Milky Way-Andromeda galaxy collision, suggesting the event may not be as inevitable as once thought. Traditionally, astronomers have predicted that our galaxy would merge with Andromeda within the next 5 billion years, creating a new elliptical galaxy often referred to as "Milkomeda." However, ...

Scientists Use Retired Telescopes to Capture Intricate Images of Cosmic Dust and Clouds
Scientists have captured intricate details of cosmic dust and clouds in space, including the Andromeda galaxy (M31), Triangulum galaxy (M33), and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. In order to create images of the cosmic dust and clouds, researchers have relied on data from various retired missions such as the using the European Space Agency (E...
