Most messages are press releases about astronomical discoveries—okay, scratch that; most of them are spam, but science announcements are an easy second place. But I also get questions from readers ...
Astronomers have discovered a "galaxy-killing wind" that may explain why there are far more massive "dead" galaxies than expected in the early universe. This wind, powered by cosmic collisions between ...
When it comes to the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, there’s a whole “will they or won’t they” thing going on. In 2012 scientists published their results of Hubble Space Telescope observations ...
New observations of a pair of colliding spiral galaxies hint at what might be in store for the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy if and when they collide. The findings, described in July in the ...
A cosmic dance could be the future of the Milky Way as it tracks a course to collide with neighboring galaxies, a University of Queensland survey has found. The paper is published in the Monthly ...
Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...
This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Last month when scientists announced new ...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — 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 ...
A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...
