100,000 miles per second = 360,000,000 miles per hour
Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away
Which is 14,699,563,432,959,025,000 miles
Which is 408,237,797,313.775 hours
Which is 1,700,991,138.073 days
Which is 4,660,249.6933 years
Take lots of snacks!!!!
And that's what the answer is.
The Great Galaxy in Andromeda (also known as the Andromeda Galaxy or M31) is about 2.5 million light years from Earth. When we look at this galaxy today, we see light that has been traveling through space for 2.5 million years; i.e. when we look at the Andromeda Galaxy, we are seeing it as it was about 2.5 million years ago! Think about this, we are looking back in time.1 light year is the distance that light travels in 1 year. Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second, find the distance that light travels from the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth in kilometers and express it in scientific notation.
There is some blueshift in the Andromeda galaxy as it is moving toward us. The speed of the Andromeda Galaxy relative to the sun is about 300 kilometers per second or about 0.1% the speed of light. The blueshift would be detectable by instruments but not to the human eye.
The Andromeda Galaxy red shift is -301 km/s Which actually means it is blue shifted and is heading towards us at about 100 to 140 kilometres per second
Horse Isle Answer: Andromeda~Callileeno on Chestnut ServerThe Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is the closest galaxy to us but the Andromeda Galaxy is th largest spiral galaxy near us.Look on this site for more info...http://www.brighthub.com/science/space/articles/41000.aspx
The Andromeda galaxy is estimated to be over 2.7 million light years away. Light travels 299,792,458 meters per second. There are 31,536,000 seconds in one year. If 31,536,000 is multiplied by 2.7 million the answer is 8.51472 to the 13th power.

About 17 billion years after the big bang , when it will merge with our own galaxy - the Milky Way. After that, a new name will have to be thought of, if anyone is still around. currently andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away and moving toward us with a speed of 120 km per second
Andromeda galaxy is 1,974,973,990 light years from earth, source N.A.S.A. the second furthest star from Earth is 1,974,973,990 light years away..... ----------------------------- There are 5,878,499,814,186.5 miles traveled in a light year, (thats 5.8+ Trillion miles) the center of Andromeda is approx. 2.5 million light years away. The math is beyond me. If 2 steam engines leave their stations from earth 15 minutes apart when will they end up in Andromeda?????
The Andromeda galaxy is around 2.5 million light years away, but is moving towards out galaxy at a speed of about 100 to 140 kilometres per second (62 to 87 miles/sec). Our galaxy will collide with it in around 4.5 billion years. A long time, but you wont get far travelling at 20mph in that time, on an astronomical scale anyway, barely outside our own solar system.
It is the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy. The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is the second closest to the milky way.
The Milky Way Galaxy is the second largest galaxy, after Andromeda, in the Local Group. The Triangulum Galaxy (a.k.a., the Star Wars galaxy) is the third largest. The Local Group contains about 30 galaxies, including dwarf galaxies.
