The Andromeda-Milky Way Collision Begins: New Discoveries Change Our Cosmic Timeline

The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group—the Milky Way (which contains the Solar System and Earth) and the Andromeda Galaxy.The stars involved are sufficiently far apart that it is improbable that any of them will individually collide.Some stars will be ejected from the resulting galaxy, often nicknamed Milkomeda or Milkdromeda, a portmanteau of the respective galaxy names. | Escola
