No, on the contrary, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is getting closer and closer. It is estimated that in about 3 billion years both galaxies might start merging. This is hard to ascertain, because the sideways component of the speed is hard to calculate accurately. But in any case, in 3 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy will be much closer to us than it is now.

Is the sun apart of the milky way?

Yes , our Sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy ; it is positioned in the Orion Arm of the MWG .


Is the Milky Way expanding?

No. The universe is expanding; galaxy clusters are getting farther apart. This expansion only works over distances of hundreds of millions of light years, not the much smaller distances within galaxies.


Why are is the furthest star still getting further away?

On the you tube. the galaxies are getting further away except Andromeda Galaxy. Most stars are now getting further because EX Andromeda galaxy will kill milky way and the other galaxies, the galaxies ran away carrying their ball.


How warm is the Milky Way?

This depends on where you are in the milky way. For example, earth is in the milky way. It is warm. But Mercury is very hot because it is closer to the sun. And also Neptune is colder or Pluto because they are further away from the sun. So they are all in the milky way. That means it matter where you are, for the milky way is very big.


What is on the edge of the solar system milky way?

The milky way IS NOT a solar system. it contains millions of solar systems. and there is no definite edge to the milky way galaxy. stars simply distance themselves apart from each other until they stop traveling with the milky way galaxy


What is your solar system apart of?

our solar system is part of the milky way galaxy


Is the Milky Way farther from Earth than Neptune?

Earth and Neptune are both in the Milky Way, so on that basis, the Milky Way is zero distance from us. What we sometimes call the Milky Way is a hazy area going through the night sky. That is much further away than Neptune is.


The Milky Way is 100000 light years wide If there are 2500 planets in the MW how far apart are they roughly if evenly spaced?

If all planets are evenly spaced and there are 2,500 planets, they would be about 40 light years apart in the Milky Way.


What do the astrologers call our galaxy?

We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.


What does the milky way galaxy orbit and how long does it take?

The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the two giants in our local group. These two galaxies will collide, but neither one can be said to orbit the other. In some instances smaller galaxies might "orbit" a giant cluster, with periods measured in billions of years. Galaxies in general do not orbit anything. Instead they are all simply spreading further and further apart as the universe expands.
