Andromeda galaxy will destroy the Earth

Recent studies with the giant radio telescope Green Bank of the US National Science Foundation show that the Andromeda galaxy is flying to Earth at more than 400,000 km / hr and will hit our Milky Way galaxy. But this only happens after 4 billion years.

Andromeda galaxy is an experienced assassin when he collided with the Triangulum galaxy. The two Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies are 2.6 million and 3 million light-years from Earth, respectively, and are galaxies in the group of galaxies near each other including our own Milky Way and 30 other galaxies. .

Studies based on this highly sensitive telescope seem to confirm a controversial discovery of hydrogen gas flow between these galaxies in 2004. Jay Lockman is from the Observation Center. The United States National Radio, said: 'The nature of this air stream proves that the two galaxies in the past are very close to each other. Researching the flow of hydrogen gas occurs when two galaxies collide with each other to help us understand the development of these two galaxies. '

The Andromeda galaxy is flying to our Milky Way at a speed of more than 400,000 km / hr, the same speed as the journey from Earth to the moon in 60 minutes.

The two galactic hydrogen gas bridges were discovered in 2004 thanks to the Westerbork synthetic radio telescope in the Netherlands. But some other scientists are skeptical about the accuracy of this finding. Later studies by the Green Bank radio telescope confirmed the existence of this hydrogen gas bridge and showed that there were six columns of dense gas in the gas stream.

According to the Daily Mail, when two galaxies approached, the so-called tidal tail appeared, the streams of gas and dust absorbed into the space between the two galaxies. Spencer Wolfe, University of Western Virgina said: 'We think it is very likely that the hydrogen gas stream we observed between the two galaxies is the rest of the tidal tail that comes from the collision of two galaxies, there are billions of years ago. The collision may have been going on for a long time, since no galaxy currently shows signs of destruction. "

Lockman added: 'The gas flow that we observed is very weak and absorbs radio signals very weakly, counting it out of the range of most radio telescopes. So we will continue to take advantage of the amazing telescope of the Green Bank to learn more about hydrogen flow and the history of the two galaxies. "

Sangmo Tony Sohn, of the Space Telescope Science Institute, said: 'After nearly half a century of future fate observations of Andromeda and the galaxy, we finally understand what will happen. after 4 billion years'. This encounter will cause the sun to be pushed into another galaxy, while the stars will also fly in different orbits than today. Although it was not destroyed, the earth and solar system were still pushed out of the center of the galaxy. After hitting each other, it takes another 2 billion years for the two galaxies to fully merge into a new eclip-shaped galaxy.
