Cosmological simulations say that such an alignment should not happen, with a probability of less than 0.3%. Our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31, or M31) appears to sport a lopsided ...

Dozens of dwarf galaxies swarming around the Andromeda Galaxy like bees have been caught on camera by the Hubble Space Telescope, which took more than a thousand orbits of the Earth to take enough ...

The Andromeda galaxy's satellite galaxies exhibit a highly asymmetrical distribution, with over 80% concentrated on one side, challenging the standard cosmological model.

Our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31, or M31) appears to sport a lopsided arrangement of satellite galaxies that defy scientific models, stumping astronomers who are also trying to figure ...

The Andromeda galaxy is surrounded by a constellation of dwarf galaxies that are arranged in a highly lopsided manner. Analysis of cosmological simulations published in Nature Astronomy reveal ...

Andromeda XXXV contains an estimated 20,000 Suns worth of stars and lies about half a million light-years from the center of ...

Today, astronomers have measured the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy much more precisely; they find it to be about 2 1/2 million light years away. It is a majestic spiral-shaped galaxy ...

Spanning approximately 220,000 light-years across, the Andromeda Galaxy is the largest galaxy of the Local Group, which also contains the Milky Way. Miguel Claro is a professional photographer ...

1. Andromeda Galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy at 2.5 million light-years, it’s massive, visible to the naked eye, and heading toward the Milky Way. 2. Triangulum Galaxy is a small ...

Boing Boing’s Maggie Koerth-Baker made a great comparison today between the actual Andromeda Galaxy (which is 2.5 million years away from Earth), and the Andromeda Galaxy representation that ships as ...
