Something unusual may have risen from the ashes of an epic smashup. In the middle of a galaxy shaped like an infinity symbol — thought to be the result of two galaxies colliding — sits a supermassive ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...

Astronomers now believe the Milky Way's "inevitable" collision with a neighboring galaxy is much less likely than originally thought.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two ...

Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum plaguing the standard model of cosmology. When you purchase through links on our ...

A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...
