Our galaxy may eventually escape the conflict with Andromeda in a few billion years, according to new simulations, which gives him a chance of 50-50 to avoid extinction.

Our galaxy and Andromeda move each other at a speed of 100 kilometers per second. Scientists have long believed that they would be in a conflict orbit of about 4.5 billion years. A scenario that foreshadows the positive for our universe.

Earlier research suggesting that the sun (and the earth with it) could be found in the center of this merged, future galaxy, in a colossal black hole. The sun could also be ejected in the Intergalactic period.

But “announcements about the impending end of our galaxy seem to be excessive,” according to a new study published today in the Nature Astronomy scientific journal. The International Astrophysics Group involved in this study estimates that the possibility of a conflict between the two galaxies is about 50% over the next ten billion years.

“Essentially, they are crown-letters,” summed Til Sauala of the University of Helsinki, the lead author of the study.

Scientists have made more than 100,000 simulations, using new data collected from space telescopes.

A frontal conflict of the two galaxies over the next 5 billion years is “extremely unlikely,” Saaala said.

The most likely scenario is that our galaxy and Andromeda galaxy will scratch each other, without clashing immediately. In half of the simulations, dark matter will drag them into an irreversible approach, eventually causing a cataclysmic conflict. But this will not happen before 8 billion years have passed, since our sun will have long been erased.

“So our galaxy may be destroyed. But it is also possible for the galaxy and Andromeda to rotate each other for tens of millions of years. We still can’t know it, “Saaala said.

“The fate of our galaxy is still unknown,” the researchers summed up.

According to Saaala, new data from the Habel and the Gaia Space Telescope, which has just completed its mission, may allow astrophysicists to give a definitive answer over the next decade.

But why concern them the question as rising temperatures will make the Earth unhappy much earlier in about 1 billion years? “It is likely that we are emotionally connected” and want to know what will happen to us after us, Saaala explained. “I would prefer our galaxy not to clash with Andromeda, even if this would have no impact on my own life – not even on the life of my tricks,” he added.
