Future earth sky

The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion yearsbetween the two largest galaxies in the Local Group—the Milky Way (which contains the Solar System and Earth) and the Andromeda Galaxy

Is andromeda galaxy bigger than milky way

In terms of physical extent, the Andromeda Galaxy’s disk diameter is well-measured, and spans 220,000 light-years across. For comparison, the diameter of the Milky Way’s disk has long been thought to be only about half that: around 100,000 light-years

Are we moving towards andromeda

Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is indeed approaching us, by about 300 kilometers (190 miles) per second measured with respect to the Sun. If you subtract the Sun’s orbital motion around our galaxy (about 230 km per second toward Cygnus), M31 is still approaching the Milky Way by about 130 km per second

Is there any sign of life in andromeda galaxy

There is no direct evidence to confirm or deny the existence of extraterrestrial life, including in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), which is approximately 2.537 million light-years away from Earth. Scientists have not observed any definitive signs of life beyond our solar system.

What is the largest galaxy ever discovered

Astronomer’s have discovered the largest galaxy ever discovered in a spectacular find. Alcyoneus is a massive radio galaxy 3 billion light-years away that reaches 5 megaparsecs into space. This structure, which is 16.3 million light-years long, is the largest known structure of galactic origin

How many galaxies are there

How many galaxies are there in the Universe? Recent estimates tell us that there could be as many as two trillion galaxies in the observable Universe. Two trillion galaxies is an estimate. Scientists haven’t sat there and counted every single galaxy they’ve spotted in the known observable Universe

What will andromeda look like in 3 billion years

Now the Andromeda galaxy can be seen with the naked eye, like a tiny dot in the sky. But in three billion years it will be so clearly visible to the naked eye that it will even be possible to see individual spiral arms in it.

Does andromeda has a black hole

Astronomers confirm intermediate-mass black hole in Andromeda galaxy. Astronomers at the University of Utah have confirmed an intermediate-mass black hole, an elusive rarity long sought by scientists. The object is hidden in B023-G078, a star cluster in the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest spiral galaxy

What is the future of andromeda

This dust is a tracer of the galaxy’s vast interstellar gas, raw material for future star formation. Of course, the new stars will likely form over the next hundred million years or so. That’s well before Andromeda merges with our Milky Way Galaxy in about 5 billion years.
