When it comes to the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, there’s a whole “will they or won’t they” thing going on. In 2012 scientists published their results of Hubble Space Telescope observations ...

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are trapped in a sheet of dark matter, a new study says. According to a team of scientists led by the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands, this ...

According to Australian National University, there is now sufficient evidence (albeit in the form of very faint traces) of several small galaxies that Andromeda has been devouring, possible as long ...
