It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two spiral galaxies colliding is ...

For years, astronomers have believed that the fate of the Milky Way was tied to our largest neighboring galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy. However, a new study now says that this future Milky Way merger ...
