The long-proposed Milky Way and Andromeda galactic merger might not be as certain as astronomers previously believed.

Astronomers have believed for decades that the Milky Way is on a collision course with our nearest big neighbor, Andromeda.

The study still indicates a small chance, around 2 per cent, of a direct collision between Milky Way and Andromeda in 4 to 5 ...
