Andromeda & Milky way 🔆 Clash Between Milky Way & Andromeda: No Longer Inevitable? 📍 New Findings on Galactic Collision ✅ Astronomers suggest 50-50 chance of the Milky Way colliding with Andromeda in the next 10 billion years. ✅ Previous estimates predicted collision in 5 billion years, but new data lowers this probability. ✅ Researchers from the University of Helsinki used Hubble Telescope and Gaia spacecraft to update galaxy measurements. ✅ Findings suggest that the collision may not happen at all, potentially reshaping our understanding of future galactic events. 📍 Significance ✅ Milky Way & Andromeda’s interaction impacts future cosmic structures. ✅ A collision would transform the Milky Way into a new elliptical galaxy, possibly altering the solar system’s fate.
