The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31, is the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and is roughly 2.537 million light-years away. It is larger than the Milky Way, containing about one trillion stars compared to the Milky Way's estimated 100 to 400 billion stars. Both galaxies are expected to collide in about 4.5 billion years, ultimately merging to form a new galaxy. Additionally, Andromeda has a more prominent central bulge and a higher rate of star formation compared to the Milky Way.
