Will Hit Milky Way galaxy Andromeda?


Baltimore: Astronomers from the United States Space Agency (NASA) announced the latest findings from the predictions based on observations of the Hubble Telescope. An estimated four billion years from now, our solar system galaxy, the Milky Way, will hit a neighboring galaxy, Andromeda.

As a result of this collision, the Sun as the center of our solar system will bounce into different regions. Good news for us inhabitants of the Earth, the planet and the whole system of suryanya not in danger of collapse. "Our findings are statistically significant, consistent with the collision between Andromeda and the Milky Way galaxy," says Roeland van der Marel of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, USA.

Hubble telescope to give this prediction based on the calculation of the movement of Andromeda is commonly referred to as M31. Distance of these galaxies are about 2.5 million light years from the Milky Way. However, due to mutual gravitation of the galaxy, plus the invisible dark matter around them, making them closer together with each other.

"After nearly a decade of speculation over the future of Andromeda and the Milky Way, we finally have a clear image of what will happen in the billions of years into the future," said Tony Sohn Sangmo also of STScI.

This collision scenario is described like a wood bat baseball is preparing for a high speed. Although Andromeda approached us with a speed 2000 times faster, it took him four billion years to our galaxy.
