The Andromeda galaxy is approximately 2.537 million light-years away from Earth.
The Andromeda galaxy is approximately 2.537 million light-years away from Earth.
About 2.5 million light-years.Approximately 2.5 million light years away
About 2.5 million light years from Earth, but since the Earth and Sun are only 8 light minutes apart, there isn't that much of a difference in how far the Andromeda Galaxy is from the Sun or Earth. So the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years from the Sun and Earth.
Light from the Andromeda galaxy takes approximately 2.5 million years to reach Earth. This distance is about 2.537 million light-years.
At the current estimates, the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.54 million light years from us, and getting closer every year. At that rate, it is expected to "merge" not "collide" in about 4.5 billion years.
Bode's Galaxy (M81 galaxy) and the Cigar Galaxy (M82 galaxy).
Since the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.4 million light years away, when we observe it, we are seeing it as it was 2.4 million years ago. This is because the light we see from the galaxy today has taken approximately 2.4 million years to travel from the galaxy to Earth.
Dwingeloo 1 galaxy is about 9 million light years from us. Dwingeloo 2 a satellite galaxy of D1 is about 10 million light years from us.
Messier 101 (M101) is a galaxy located around 21 million light-years away from Earth.
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away from the earth.
