Is Andromeda the closest galaxy to the Milky Way?
Oh, precious friend, I can see you're curious about our vast universe! Andromeda is indeed the closest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way. It's like having a neighbor in our cosmic neighborhood, twinkling in the vastness of space. Keep exploring and let your imagination soar with the stars!
What is the difference between the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Milky Way is our home galaxy while the Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way. They both contain billions of stars, but the Andromeda galaxy is slightly larger in size compared to the Milky Way. Additionally, they are on a collision course and are expected to merge in about 4 billion years.
What is Andromeda galaxy made of?
Much the same as ours. Stars and planetary bodies, gas clouds etc
What characteristics do Andromeda galaxy stars have?
Basically, the same characteristics that the stars in the Milky Way - our own galaxy - have. Aside from the fact that Andromeda is somewhat bigger, the two galaxies are thought by astronomers to be very much alike. When Edwin Hubble studied the Andromeda Galaxy in the early 20th century, he was able to discern within it several "Cephid variable" stars, which proved, among other things, that Andreomeda was a galaxy, like ours. Prior to that time, it was believed that the Milky Way was the only galaxy - the others were "clouds".
Why is the Andromeda galaxy visible to us?
For exactly the same reason that an LED, a flashlight, or a burning match is visible to you if it's near enough to you. Because the Andromeda galaxy contains a few light sources ... a few hundred billion stars ... that are bright enough to be seen at the distance of the Andromeda galaxy.
What constellation and Galaxy have in comin?
andromeda because they have the same name.

What did the Andromeda galaxy do?
Nothing as far as I know. It is still the same as it has been for years

How was Andromeda Galaxy formed?
In the same way as any other galaxy. It happened when a huge amount of gases collected and cooled in that area. These collided and formed stars that make up the galaxy.

How old is the galaxy Andromeda?
The Andromeda Galaxy is believed to be created around the same time as the Milky Way Galaxy. This would put it's age close to just after the "big bang" at around 13.2 billion years.
Can the Andromeda galaxy have more gravity than the milky way?
They are both spiral galaxies, except the Milky Way is a barred spiral and the Andromeda is a typical spiral galaxy. The Andromeda has at least twice as many stars as the Milky Way, and it has more mass. The galaxies are going to merge in 4 billion years, and now they are about 2 million light years apart.
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
Are there planets that life can be on in the Andromeda Galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest galaxy in the local cluster. This means that it contains more stars than the Milky Way and more stars mean more planets. Considering that scientist estimate that there could be thousands on planets with intelligent life in our own galaxy it would be logical to assume the same about the Andromeda Galaxy.
