Liked on YouTube: Our Galaxy Is Probably Colliding With The Andromeda Galaxy!


Our Galaxy Is Probably Colliding With The Andromeda Galaxy!
We already know that there are many galaxies in our Universe and one thing is for sure that the deeper we look into the cosmos, the more galaxies we see. Join me as I explain the collision that is going to happen between the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe for more videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/InsaneCuriosity?sub_confirmation=1?

It has been estimated that the observable universe contains almost two trillion galaxies. Imagine how infinite our Universe is! Some of those distant galaxies are similar to our own Milky Way, while others are quite different. From all these Galaxies we have discovered through years of research that Andromeda Galaxy is coming closer to our own. It is important to mention some information about The Andromeda Galaxy that makes it so important. First and foremost, The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large galaxy to our Milky Way. At 2.5 million light-years, it’s the most distant thing visible we can see with the naked eye in the Northern Hemisphere especially on the dark sky. It is the brightest galaxy we can see and it is also named as M31. Although there are several dozen minor galaxies closer to our Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to ours. A spiral galaxy has a flat, spinning disk with a central bulge surrounded by spiral arms. That spinning motion, at speeds of hundreds of kilometers a second, may cause matter in the disk to take on a distinctive spiral shape, like a cosmic pinwheel. There has been a speculation by a team of astronomers who believe that M31 or Andromeda Galaxy was formed between five and nine billion years ago when two smaller galaxies collided and merged creating this one. The Andromeda galaxy and our Milky Way galaxy reign as the two most massive and dominant galaxies within the Local Group of Galaxies. Local group is a collection of more than 54 galaxies including the Milky Way, the Triangulum galaxy and many smaller dwarf galaxies. If it wasn’t for the Andromeda Galaxy we wouldn’t be able to extent our knowledge about the outer space. In other words the Andromeda Galaxy has contributed to the knowledge we have gained about the Universe, as it was the first clue that there existed a universe outside the Milky Way. So we should be grateful for its existence. Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy claim to have about a dozen satellite galaxies. Both are some 100,000 light-years across, containing enough mass to make billions of stars. Andromeda has also a diameter of 200,000 of light years which is twice the diameter of our galaxy. The mass of either galaxy is difficult to estimate with any accuracy, but it is considered that the Andromeda Galaxy is more massive than the Milky Way by a margin of some 25% to 50%. In recent years, scientists have done detailed studies of black holes, stars and other objects within the galaxy. This included a stunning mosaic of Andromeda galaxy images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2015. Andromeda contains a concentrated bulge of matter in the middle, surrounded by a disk of gas, dust, and stars and an immense halo. I think we get to know Andromeda galaxy better, but what if I told you that Andromeda draws our attention also for another reason. Yes that is what we are going to analyze in the following lines. So join me to this journey. Studies have shown that the Andromeda Galaxy has probably started collision with our galaxy. And it is not a speculation but years and years of research with the necessary tools to discover it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If You happen to see any content that is yours, and we didn't give credit in the right manner please let us know at: Lorenzovareseaziendale@gmail.com and we will correct it immediately" "Some of our visual content is under a Attribution-ShareAlike license.
