The Andromeda Galaxy, located approximately 2.5 million light-years from earth.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star at about 4.24 light years; the next closest star is Alpha Centauri-A which is about 4.37 light years away.
There are currently no known asteroids predicted to hit the Earth in the near future. Scientists continuously monitor asteroids and comets that come close to Earth, and there are no imminent threats at this time.
We believe that the nearest black hole is V616 Monocerotis, which is about 3500 light years away.
