The studies also suggest that M33, the Triangulum Galaxy—the third-largest and third-brightest galaxy of the Local Group—will participate in the collision event, too. Its most likely fate is to end up orbiting the merger remnant of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies and finally to merge with it in an even more distant future.
Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way, located in the constellation of Andromeda. It is a barred spiral galaxy with a diameter of about 152,000 light-years and a mass of 1 trillion solar masses.
Scientists say there's a 50/50 chance that our Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy, challenging previous certainty about this cosmic event.
Messier 110 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy in the Andromeda Galaxy, discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1783. It has patches of dust and young stars, lacks a supermassive black hole, and has been observed to have novae.
Chandra is a NASA space telescope launched in 1999 to study X-ray sources in the universe. It is named after Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, a Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist, and is one of the Great Observatories along with Hubble, Compton and Spitzer.
The Gaia catalogues are star catalogues created using the results obtained by Gaia space telescope, released in stages with increasing amounts of information. They include positions, magnitudes, parallaxes, proper motions, radial velocities, photometry, and more for billions of stars and other celestial objects.
The fourth game takes place in the Heleus Cluster of the Andromeda galaxy, 634 years after the events of its predecessor. In the midst of events of the first three games, the combined races of the Milky Way sent a number of ships to Andromeda to establish the Nexus, a space-borne operations base and a number of colonies to accept future ...
NGC 662 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Andromeda. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 5,397 ± 18 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 79.6 ± 5.6 Mpc (∼260 million light-years). [1] It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan on 22 November 1884.
