Milky Way Andromeda Collide On Cosmic Timescale
Scientists using computer simulations and Hubble images describe galaxy mergers as common in the early universe and rare today. Nearby Antennae galaxies offer a view of collision effects on star clusters while Milky Way and Andromeda drift toward each other at about 300 thousand mph, 2.2 million light years apart. NASA plans a 2005 mission to measure Andromeda's approach angle.
