It turns out that the Andromeda galaxy is also going about 20 miles per second sideways. As a result, it will take a more winding path toward us, won’t arrive for another 4.5 billion years and won’t hit so hard, at least not at first

Milky Way headed towards catastrophic galactic collision, might wake up a dormant black hole

January 09, 2019 1:33 pm

The collision could occur much earlier than the predicted impact between the Milky Way and another neighbouring galaxy, Andromeda, which scientists say will hit our galaxy in eight billion years. This could wake up Milky Way's dormant black hole.
