Mar 18, 2021 · Though Andromeda is twice as extensive as the Milky Way it may only be half as massive. Andromeda the light weight rather than the Milky Way, so to speak. I've always read that when these two collide, Andromeda will eat the Milky Way alive and go its merry way leaving only possible remnants of the Milky Way existing.
In 1923, he trained the telescope on a particularly hazy patch of the sky that appeared to be a star cluster in our galaxy. However, measuring the distance to this cluster, he realised that it was not a part of the Milky Way but an entirely new galaxy that we know today as the Andromeda Galaxy.
Nov 8, 2018 · The new study also offers a preview of what will likely happen in our own cosmic backyard, in several billion years, when our Milky Way combines with the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy and their respective central black holes smash together.
She began her research with our closest spiral, the Andromeda galaxy. Luckily, her theory was greeted with open minds as well as prestigious awards. Rubin believed that since galaxies are rotating so fast, the gravity that holds the stars together alone wouldn’t be enough to stop the structure from flying apart.
Sep 21, 2023 · Astrophysicists have discovered that the velocity of stars orbiting (let’s say the center of gravity of the Andromeda galaxy) does not decline as the inverse square of the distance from the center of gravity of the Andromeda galaxy and that the stars orbiting around Andromeda galaxy have reached escape velocity because of insufficient visible mass to hold the high velocity stars in orbit ...
Feb 7, 2022 · But, Andromeda is too faint to see with the naked eye except on a really clear, dark night, away from city lights and haze. Obviously, there are many, many galaxies "behind" Andromeda as viewed from Earth, stretching out at least 13.4 billion light years (as seen "now" from Earth, realizing that those galaxies have had 13.4 billion years to move to other locations since they emitted that light).
Apr 24, 2024 · Andromeda Galaxy is supposed to be moving at 640,000 miles per hour Recent Futurism publication supposed that universe is expanding at 160,000 miles per hour Agree so far?
Feb 3, 2021 · 1) It wasn't Hubble that discovered that galaxies are moving away from us, but Vesto Slipher. But Hubble was the first to measure the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy, thus was able to associated redshift measurements with distance. 2) Hubble never elected to claim the universe was expanding, though the Hubble Constant says just that.
Aug 15, 2024 · Andromeda and the Milky Way are approaching one another at a speed of about 110 km (68 miles) a second. 4 to 5 billion years from now, they are destined to meet in a spectacular event. Collisions between individual stars will be unlikely, but many will have their orbits disrupted as they are flung off into intergalactic space.
May 14, 2021 · Andromeda galaxy is approaching Milky Way at 402,000 km/hr. Distance is 2.5 million light years. Parsec is 3.26 light years Andromeda is .77 megaparsecs away from us Hubble constant is 70 km/sec/megaparsec Andromeda is receding due to space expansion at a rate of 54 km/sec
