How fast does the Andromeda galaxy go?
The Andromeda Galaxy is moving towards our Milky Way galaxy at a speed of about 110 km/s. This movement is called the "Andromeda-Milky Way collision." Scientists predict that the two galaxies will collide in about 4 billion years, merging into a single galaxy.
How long to travel to Andromeda galaxy?
Traveling at the speed of light, it would take about 2.5 million years to reach the Andromeda galaxy, which is approximately 2.537 million light-years away from Earth. However, current technology is far from achieving such speeds, making intergalactic travel to Andromeda currently impossible for humans.
Which constellations border Andromeda?
Currently the Andromeda Galaxy is classified as a SA(s)b. However, new observational data may have it reclassified as a SB because a bar may actually be present.It is not an SC because the rotational arms are tightly bound.See related link for a pictorial of the classification.
Which galaxy is closest to the Milky Way?
Ah, what a great question! The little galaxy right next door to us is called the Andromeda galaxy. It's like our neighbor in this big galactic community we all live in. Just imagine all the stunning colors our universe shares with Andromeda!
Is Andromeda galaxy the biggest galaxy?
Although the Andromeda Galaxy is a bit larger than the Milky Way, and is large as spiral galaxies go, it is not the largest galaxy. There are larger spiral galaxies, and much, MUCH larger elliptical galaxies. However, because it is relatively close to the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy _appears_ quite large, spanning an apparent width roughly six times that of a full Moon. Still, there are two smaller, closer galaxies (the Magellanic Clouds) which appear larger still. (The Magellanic Clouds are not visible from northern latitudes, however, so one could argue that the Andromeda Galaxy is the biggest galaxy in _apparent size_ visible from most of the northern hemisphere.)
What is andiomeda galaxy?
You may be referring to the Andromeda Galaxy. It is a spiral galaxy, in constellation Andromeda, and part of our Local Group. That means that, as galaxies go, it is fairly close to us.

Why shouldn't you go to close to the Andromeda galaxy?
You simply can't - it is too far away, at least for current technology. However, the Andromeda Galaxy is a galaxy just like any other one - I see no big difference between being there, or being here in our own galaxy.
Why is the light from Andromeda 2.5 million years old?
That means that M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy) is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years, and that it takes the light 2.5 million years to get here. Light moves quickly, but not instantaneously.
How many kilometers is it from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy?
That would be an immense number. Light, itself, takes about 2.54 million years to go from Andromeda to Earth. (Or vice-versa).The number of kilometers is about 23 quintillion.
How long will it take me to go to Andromeda from earth in todays speed ship?
The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.537 million light-years away from Earth. Currently, the fastest spacecraft, like the Parker Solar Probe, travels at speeds of up to 430,000 miles per hour. At that speed, it would take approximately 6.6 million years to reach Andromeda. Thus, with today's technology, a journey to Andromeda is not feasible within a human lifetime.
Is it possible for people to go to the Andromeda Galaxy?
No. With current technology we can't even go to the nearest stars (outside our Solar System), the Alpha Centauri system.With some hypothetical technology it MIGHT one day be possible, for example, to reach 1/10 of the speed of light - though even that is science fiction for now. At such a speed, it would take over 40 years to reach Alpha Centauri; and 25 million years to reach the Andromeda Galaxy. But if you wait 3 or 4 billion years, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way will join.
How long will it take to get to Andromeda galaxy by going 360 000 000 000 000 000 000 Kmph?
You can't go that fast. That would be faster than the speed of light. Anyway, for a hypothetical calculation, divide the distance by the speed.
