Our galactic neighbor Andromeda has a bunch of satellite galaxies — and they're weirdly pointing at us
The Andromeda galaxy's family of satellite galaxies point towards the Milky Way, and nobody knows why.
Researchers have long thought that the Milky Way would collide with the Andromeda galaxy in four to five billion years. This scientific illustration depicts Earth's horizon four billion years in the ...
