      • Astronomers have predicted that M33 is on a possible collision course with both the Andromeda Galaxy and, eventually, the Milky Way. Such galactic interactions could dramatically reshape M33’s structure, potentially triggering new waves of star formation or merging its stars into a larger galactic system.

  2. Sep 30, 2024 · In one possible scenario, the smaller Pinwheel Galaxy (M33) misses the action during the initial smashup; if so, M33 may later merge with the result of the Milky Way-Andromeda...

  3. Aug 23, 2024 · The next two largest are the Triangulum galaxy (M33), which is about 2.7 million light-years from the Milky Way (and only 700,000 light-years from Andromeda; they lie close together in the...

  4. The studies also suggest that M33, the Triangulum Galaxy—the third-largest and third-brightest galaxy of the Local Group—will participate in the collision event, too. Its most likely fate is to end up orbiting the merger remnant of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies and finally to merge with it in an even more distant future.

  5. Sep 7, 2024 · The Milky Way and Andromeda are on a collision course, predicted to merge in about 4.5 billion years. However, if their CGMs are already mingling, it suggests that the merger process has, in some ways, already begun.

  6. Jun 1, 2012 · To make matters more complicated, M31’s small companion, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), will join in the collision and perhaps later merge with the M31/Milky Way pair. There is a small chance...

  7. Sep 28, 2009 · The Triangulum Galaxy (M33), a satellite to Andromeda, will be swept up in the merger and probably assume a new path through our Local Group of galaxies.

  8. May 31, 2012 · To make matters more complicated, M31's small companion, the Triangulum galaxy, M33, will join in the collision and perhaps later merge with the M31/Milky Way pair. There is a small chance that M33 will hit the Milky Way first.
