It is almost as old as the Universe. I understand that is slightly less than 14 billion years.
Yes, the Andromeda galaxy is thought to be older than the Milky Way. Astronomers estimate that Andromeda formed around 10 billion years ago, making it older than the Milky Way, which is estimated to be around 13.6 billion years old.
In about 2.5 billion years when the Andromeda Galaxy merges with the Milky Way
Andromeda galaxy
All of them are. Generally elliptical galaxies are the oldest.
Stars that now exist within our Milky Way -- indeed, all stars themselves -- did not exist till about 13 billion years ago. Our galaxy did not take its present form till about nine billion years ago.
in about 5 billion years when the adromeda galaxy collides with the milky waybtw the adromeda is bigger than the milky way, about 1/2 largerCRAP SAUCE!!!!!!!
The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way, located about 2.5 million light-years away. It is home to about a trillion stars and has a diameter of approximately 220,000 light-years. Andromeda is on a collision course with the Milky Way and is expected to merge with our galaxy in about 4 billion years.
It seems that the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy will collide, in about 3-4 billion years.
Four billion years from now, our galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with our large spiraled neighbor, Andromeda.
The Milky Way galaxy will not melt or dissolve; it will continue to exist for billions of years. However, the Milky Way is on a collision course with the Andromeda galaxy, and they are expected to merge in about 4 billion years.
It will "merge" not collide with the Milky Way Galaxy in about 4 billion years times.
Not at the moment but in about 5 billion years it will merge with the Andromeda galaxy.
