Milky Way-Andromeda Collision Probability Reduced to 50%
New research, using data from the Hubble and Gaia telescopes and accounting for gravitational influences from the LMC and M33, indicates a 50% probability of a Milky Way-Andromeda collision within 10 billion years, challenging previous predictions of a near-certain collision within 4-5 billion years...
