How are the Andromeda galaxy and the milky way galaxy alike?
The Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy appear to be of similar size, and approximately similar structure. It's difficult to know since we're inside the Milky Way and we can't see the whole thing from outside, but we suspect that the two galaxies would have a similar appearance as well. Also, in about 4 billion years, they're going to collide and merge.
