A galactic collision ignited stellar fireworks in the Milky Way A study rewrites the history of the Milky Way and reveals how galaxy collisions can destroy stellar discs Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

The Milky Way may have changed its orientation after a head-on collision with a dwarf galaxy about 10 billion years ago.

The Milky Way may not always have faced the same direction. New simulations suggest its stellar disc could have swung through ...

Billions of years ago, our galaxy experienced a cosmic smash-up that may have completely reshaped the Milky Way’s rotating stellar disk. This ancient galactic collision, now traced back to roughly 11 ...

There's a 50% chance that the predicted head-on collision will end in a galactic merger, according to a new study. Reading time 2 minutes For decades, astronomers have predicted that, in approximately ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A bright white disk with an orange sphere at its center against a dark background and surrounded by white smoke. New findings from ...

Densely packed, fast-moving stars at the Milky Way's center can collide with each other. New research uses simulations to explore the outcomes of these collisions. Some collisions are more like ...

The XRISM collaboration has discovered flows of hot gas in the core of the Centaurus Cluster. By comparing state-of-the-art X-ray measurements from the XRISM satellite with numerical simulations, they ...

As scientists attempt to learn more about how galaxies evolve, an open question has been whether collisions with our dwarf galactic neighbors will one day tear apart the disk of the Milky Way. Stelios ...
