Another of the local group galaxies in the collection is NGC 3109, seen below, which is also 4 million light-years away — but, this time, in the Hydra constellation.

Scientists previously predicted the pair of galaxies would merge in about five billion years. Now, research suggests that ...

After factoring in the gravitational pull of Local Group galaxies and running 100,000 simulations using new data from the Hubble and Gaia space telescopes, the team found there is about a 50% ...

Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies (M31) are part of what's known as the Local Group (LG), which also hosts other ...

Astronomers have long thought that the Milky Way is headed for an inevitable crash with its neighbor, Andromeda. But a new ...
