Sorry. We don't have the technology, and human beings don't last long enough
to make that trip anyway.
Here's a little thought-experiment to put it into some kind of perspective:
-- The nearest galaxy to the one we live in is 2.5 million light years away, in
very rough numbers.
-- Let's say you could somehow average 1 million miles per hour in space ... about
300 times faster than the Apollo astronauts averaged on their way to the moon.
-- At that rate, it would take you 1.68 billion years to reach the nearest galaxy.
-- Knowing this, you might lower the bar, scale back your ambitions, and head for
a closer destination.
Let's say that instead of the closest galaxy outside of ours, you simply head
for the nearest star outside of our solar system, in our own galaxy, at the same
1 million miles an hour. You can reach the nearest star in only 2,800 years !
Another word for galaxy is "star system" or "stellar system."
Any observer in another galaxy.
no, but it will collide with Andromeda in a long time
A galaxy is held together by gravity, so it is extremely unlikely for it to "explode" in the traditional sense. However, events such as a collision with another galaxy or the eruption of a supermassive black hole at its center could lead to significant disruptions and changes within the galaxy.
No, the Andromeda Galaxy does not have any moons. Moons typically orbit around planets, not around galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy similar to our Milky Way and contains billions of stars but no moons.
it is a another galaxy

No - because I am in this galaxy.
Every galaxy interacts, via gravity, with every other galaxy.
A satellite galaxy is one that revolves around another galaxy.
Here are some galaxies (all of them part of the Local Group): The Milky Way, our own galaxy The Andromeda Galaxy, another large galaxy The Triangulum Galaxy, another large galaxy The Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way The Small Magellanic Cloud, another dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way
Observing another spiral galaxy, gives us a good idea about the structure of our own Galaxy.
Because there way bigger than the star
No. Everything in out solar system is in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
The galaxy
Yes, there are lots of them.
