"There is a small chance that we might not escape unscathed from the collision between the two galaxies which could knock us out of the Milky Way and into interstellar space," Marius Cautun, a postdoctoral fellow at Durham's Institute for Computational Cosmology, said in a statement.

Cautun is lead author of a paper being published Friday in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
