The collision of the Milky Way with the Andromeda Galaxy.
The collision of the Milky Way with the Andromeda Galaxy.
It is planned or what was thought until now, that the beginning of the merger between the two galaxies would be within 3870 million years and that the final fusion would occur within 5860 million years, by then the Sun would have already died and perhaps it would have disintegrated the Earth by expanding as a red giant.
It is the conclusion reached by an international team of astronomers to review the latest observations from the Gaia and Hubble space telescopes, as well as the mass estimates of the objects involved, including the nearby Galaxies of the local group, this animation would represent that merger of the two galaxies, Andromeda and the Milky Way, these scientists who have done this study that is in the news have now called the situation the four-body problem because the scientists have taken into account the gravitational influences of four fundamental bodies, on the one hand, the triangle galaxy, also known as M33, which is the third largest galaxy in the local group, and the gravitational influence of the large Magellanic cloud, which is a dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way that has already swallowed other galaxies. small when he was on his way to ours, in addition to Andromeda and the milky way.

It will surely be spectacular, to see the sky at that time because Andromeda enters at an angle, so from our position in the Milky Way we would see it fully, it would illuminate us, keep in mind that we see what is called the Camino de Santiago, which is the plane of the disk of the Milky Way, but we do not see the nucleus, which is the most luminous part of the galaxy because we are on the edge.
