Would you escape the inevitable collision of the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies in three billion years traveling at the speed of light from the earth?

Yes of course you would - assumming you sped away from Andromeda.
Andromeda is approaching us at about 500,000kph, so you could cut your speed down somewhat and still escape.

How many other small galaxies are there in the Andromeda galaxy?
There are no smaller galaxies in the Andromeda galaxy. In the Local group of galaxies to which Andromeda and the Milky Way are part of, there are around 30 smaller galaxies,
Is galaxy collision a possibility?
Yes. We have numerous telescope images of galaxies in various stages onf collision. It is belived that out own galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 3 billion years.
In which direction are mostly all galaxies moving?
Actually, most galaxies are all moving away from all other galaxies, not just from ours. The exception is the Andromeda galaxy, with which the Milky Way is on a collision course.
Will there ever be a collision between your galaxy and another?
Yes, my galaxy is the Milky Way and it is going to collide with Andromeda. Cannot answer for people living in other galaxies.
What do galaxies think?
Milky way - "I bet i could take you on in a fight, Andromeda!" Andromeda - "Bring it on!" No galaxies do not think!
What are examples of the milky way and Andromeda galaxies?
Spiral galaxies
Is the Andromeda galaxy ever going to collide with earth?
Not with earth specifically, but it will eventually collide with the Milky Way Galaxy. Galaxies are mostly empty space, so when this collision occurs the chances of earth suffering a collision as a result are negligible.
What galaxies do you have to see with a telescope?
ALL of them, except the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies.
The Andromeda galaxy is next to ours and she has a nasty appetite what is next on her list of snacks?
The Andromeda Galaxy or M31 as it is known in the cosmos is our nearest largest Galaxy and is greater even in size to the Giant Milky Way Galaxy.Both galaxies are very huge mass spiral galaxies and they are part of the local group of galaxies that number around 30 or more spanning more than 10 million light-years, These in turn are part of more massive super cluster of galaxies known as the Virgo Super-cluster of galaxies IE the local super-cluster groupThere are many other much smaller galaxies near the Milky Way and much nearer than Andromeda two giants appear to have their own groupsLike wise Andromeda has local galaxies too some of which are nearer to our Milky way than Andromeda itself.The gravity center of the local is group is believed to be in between the two giant galaxies Andromeda and The Milky WayAndromeda and the Milky Way are on collision course which is expected to happen very very soon.About 3 Billion years time so please do not gaze up to the Andromeda's expecting it to be any bigger or closer in our life times or for many more lifetimes, to come to that matter.Strangely if you look at the computer generated model of the predicted collision it is far from a collision as they are so big that collisions do actually not take place, more like a mingling of the stars.But to be more precise the merging of the 2 giants will take many more millions of years to perform when the time comes for it to begin
What are three galaxies?
Three galaxies would be the Milky Way, Andromeda, and Comet Galaxy.
The milky way and Andromeda are?
they are both galaxies...andromeda being the larger of the two by almost double in size
When will Andromeda Galaxy collide?
The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy are moving towards each other that a rate that will make them "collide" in about three and a quarter billion years. "Collide" is in quotes, because galaxies are mostly empty space, so it's fairly unlikely that any of the individual stars making up the two galaxies will physically touch as a result of the "collision"; instead, the two galaxies will just merge into a larger one.
