Milky Way Flipped More Than 90 Degrees After Ancient Collision

Milky Way Flipped More Than 90 Degrees After Ancient Collision

Simulations have revealed that the Milky Way galaxy flipped more than 90 degrees after an ancient collision with another galaxy. The collision is believed to have occurred over 10 billion years ago, when the Milky Way was still in its early stages of formation. The simulation suggests that the collision caused a massive shockwave that rippled through the galaxy, causing it to flip over. This discovery provides new insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies.
