They are pretty similiar mass, Milky Way maybe has more mass, but the Milky Way indeed beats it in size. Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter. Andromeda is 220,000 ly, Andromeda and the Milky Way are like twins.

If Hubble saw the Andromeda galaxy first and deduced the galaxies are all flying away from each other why is the Milky Way soon going to collide with Andromeda?

andromeda and milky way (us) maybe moving in the same direction but the milky way is the smaller and 'lighter' so we may be moving faster than the 'bulky' andromeda galaxy hence why there is a strongly suggested theory that we may collide but not in our lifetime. hope this helps


How does the Andromeda galaxy compare with the Milky Way?

The Andromeda is a spiral galaxy with almost twice as many stars as there are in the Milky Way. Difficult to be certain, since we're INSIDE the Milky Way and cannot see all of it, and we can't be sure exactly how far away Andromeda is. However, we believe that Andromeda and the Milky Way are probably fairly similar, with Andromeda being slightly larger.


What galaxy is after Andromeda?

All stars and constellations that we can see are in the Milky Way galaxy.
