They Lied to Us: Will the Milky Way and Andromeda Ever Collide?
For decades, astronomers believed the Milky Way was doomed to collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 4 billion years — an inevitable cosmic catastrophe written in the stars. But groundbreaking new data from Hubble and Gaia challenges this prediction. Could our galaxy’s fate be far more uncertain than we thought? In this video, we’ll uncover the truth about the Milky Way’s supposed “death sentence,” explore the hidden influence of smaller galaxies like the Large Magellanic Cloud, and reveal what cutting-edge simulations show about our future. The results may surprise you — the collision that seemed certain might never happen at all.
