A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Helsinki and Durham University in England, has brought forth a surprising revelation. Researchers suggest the potential for collision between our galaxy, the Milky Way, and its nearest major neighbor, Andromeda, may not be as inevitable as previously thought. There could be a 50-50 chance of this cosmic event within the next 10 billion years. Despite Andromeda's current speed of 110km/s toward us, it remains approximately 2.5 million light-years away.
