Is the milky way crossing another galaxy?
no, but it will collide with Andromeda in a long time
What is andromedas purpose?
Andromeda is a galaxy like the Milky Way (the galaxy we are in). Andromeda is the closest major galaxy to our own, and eventually will collide with our galaxy. This is not something we need to worry about however, because our earth will be long gone before the galaxies collide.
How long does it take light to travel from the Sun to the Andromeda Galaxy?
The light from our Sun will take about 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy.
How long would it take you to travel to the Andromeda galaxy at an average speed of 20mph?
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.
How long would it take to count all stars in Andromeda galaxy?
Since it is not possible to SEE the stars in Andromeda, it would take forever. Of course, if you can wait 3 billion years until Andromeda collides with the Milky Way, it will be a little easier.

Will humans ever be able to live in the Andromeda galaxy?
I suppose if we survive long enough it is possible. In fact if we stay where we are for another 4.5 billion years, Andromeda will "merge" with the Milky Way Galaxy (Our Galaxy).
The distance to the Andromeda Galaxy has been measured by several methods and is about 2.4 million light years When we look at the Andromeda Galaxy how long ago was the galaxy in the form that we are?
About 2.4 million light years away.
How many years until the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies collide?
There are 2 much smaller irregular galaxies that orbit our galaxy called the Magellanic Clouds. These are abbreviated LMC and SMC (large and small Magellianic Cloud). These will one day gradually collide with The Milky Way but it is a long time until that happens; no need to worry. There is also the Andromeda Galaxy which is on a collision course with us.
How long to travel to Andromeda galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away. How long it would take to get their depends on how fast you go, but at the speed of light it would take 2.5 millions years.
How long will it take to reach the Andromeda galaxy by space shuttle?
The Andromeda Galaxy is 12,904,531,200,000,000,000 miles away and the space shuttle orbits at 18,000 mph so to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy in the space shuttle would take 81.8 billion years which is around 18 times the currrent age of the universe!!!
How long a trip to go to Andromeda galaxy?
2-3 million years, if you find a way to travel at the speed of light.
How long will the Andromeda galaxy last?
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
