It’s been textbook knowledge for over a century that our Milky Way galaxy is doomed to collide with another large spiral galaxy, Andromeda, in the next 5 billion years and merge into one even bigger ...

Researchers discovered a hidden 185,000 light-year "bridge" of gas between two distant galaxies, which are also trailed by a ...

Astronomers have discovered a vast and enigmatic bridge of gas stretching across 185,000 light-years, connecting two distant ...

This image shows a small section of NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's total view of the Virgo cluster of galaxies, including two spiral galaxies (lower right) and three merging galaxies (upper right ...
