An ambitious new survey by the Hubble Space Telescope offers the first bird's-eye view of all known dwarf galaxies orbiting the Andromeda galaxy. The data suggests Andromeda had a chaotic past ...

Astronomers suspect Andromeda had a major collision with another galaxy relatively recently, perhaps 2 to 5 billion years ago. The Milky Way, on the other hand, probably hasn't had a run-in with ...

This offers forensic clues as to how our Milky Way galaxy and Andromeda have evolved differently over billions of years. Our Milky Way has been relatively placid. But it looks like Andromeda has ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has spotted some strange behaviour from a swarm of galaxies around Andromeda, our neighbour galaxy. A mere 2.5 million light years away from our Milky Way galaxy, NASA ...

The Andromeda galaxy, seen here by ... like a game of bumper cars — compared with the relatively placid evolution of the galaxies circling the Milky Way. The findings, published in The ...
