Milky Way Galaxy Doomed: Collision with Andromeda Pending
Our Milky Way Galaxy is on a collision course with its larger neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy. Hubble Space Telescope images show slight shifts in Andromeda's stars, indicating its center could be heading directly for our galaxy's center. While there is a chance the central parts might miss, the galaxies will likely merge. This cosmic event is still billions of years in the future.
