While galaxies with highly organized structures like the barred spiral shape of the Milky Way are common now, that was not the case 11.1 billion years ago.

The odds of a galactic collision in our distant future are much lower than we thought, according to new simulations.

Either way, galactic pandemonium will shape the Milky Way’s future. Even though the LMC is pushing Andromeda and our own galaxy apart, the team’s simulations also show with that, ...
