What is andromedas purpose?
Andromeda is a galaxy like the Milky Way (the galaxy we are in). Andromeda is the closest major galaxy to our own, and eventually will collide with our galaxy. This is not something we need to worry about however, because our earth will be long gone before the galaxies collide.
How did Edwin Hubble's discovery that the Andromeda galaxy was far away of our own galaxy contribute to astronomers' knowledge about the size of the universe?
Prior to Hubble's discovery scientists generally believed that our galaxy was the entire universe. Hubble found that the Andromeda galaxy was, then called the Andromeda Nebula, was not a part of our galaxy but a galaxy unto itself far beyond the edge of the Milky Way. This discovered demonstrated that the universe is much larger than scientists have believed.
Your nearest neighbor galaxy?
The Andromeda galaxy is 2.6 million light years away.Thats 1.52840995 × 1019 miles away!That is, travelling at the speed of light, it would take YOU 2.6 million years to get there.
How far is Andromeda galaxy from the Sun?
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.
Did Edwin Hubble ever invent anything else than the Hubble telescope?
Edwin Hubble did not invent the Hubble Space telescope (HST).Edwin Hubble had been dead for forth years before HST was operational.HST is named after him. He was an astronomer.(See related links.)If anything can be said to be invented by Hubble, it is to be found in a few ideas that came out of a few discoveries he made such as the existence of the Universe.Only at the turn of the century with the construction of gigantic telescopes of almost a meter in diameter was it possible to distinguish the blobs known as nebulae as being outside of our galaxy. In the 1920s Hubble's observations confirmed the existence of other galaxies in the universe outside of our own galaxy, an idea that existed, but was controversial and lacked evidence earlier. (Earlier, the universe was thought to be infinite, but mostly empty except for our own little neighborhood of a few billion stars in the Milky Way. As always, we were the center of the Universe.)In the next years, Hubble expanded this with data from others to quantify the observation that the Universe was expanding. (Now called Hubble's Law.) This led, of course, to the first data supporting the Big Bang theory suggested in by Georges Lemaître in 1927.
Is the hubble galaxy the closest galaxy to your own?
Our galaxy is called the Milky way, but the closest neighbouring galaxy is called the Andromeda galaxy.

What is the closest galaxy?
Well, we're inside the Milky Way galaxy, so obviously it's the closest.The closest satellite galaxy to us is the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy at a distance of about 25,000 light years.Most scientists say that the closest galaxy that isn't a satellite of the Milky Way is Andromeda, about 2 million light years away.However some argue the Large Magellanic Cloud is a separate galaxy, and not a satellite of our own galaxy. If they are correct then the nearest galaxy is 169,000 light years away.
Large magellanic cloud galaxy?
Is one of the closest Galaxies to our own
What is one of the spiral galaxies?
Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and our closest neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, are both spiral galaxies.
What major galaxy other than our own is in our galaxy cluster?
Andromeda Galaxy - M31 Our Galaxy cluster is called "The local group".
What other galaxies do you know?
First, one from the lighter side of life: the Ford Galaxie (it's a car!).Okay, here's another: Messier than you, the Messier 82 (actually, a 'nearby' starburst galaxy [12 million light years away!] in the Ursa Majorconstellation).The closest galaxy to our own is the Canis Major Dwarf.The first found (in 1923, by Edwin Hubble) are the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy. Hubble determined that they were two separate galaxies (so far).Okay, so then there's Cygnus A, Malin 1, Omega Centauri, and the Whirlpool Galaxy.There really are many more, but these are the easiest for me to remember because they actually have names, instead of numbers.See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:
The scientist who proved the existence of galaxies other than the Milky Way was who?
Mister Edwin Hubble did just that, before the 1920's, many astronomers thought that our galaxy included everyobject in space, in 1924 Edwin Hubble proved that other galaxies existed beyond the milky way
How does hubble telescope accomplish?
The Hubble Space Telescope is designed to see deep into space. So it has taken many fascinating photos of the outer reaches of the universe, or in our own galaxy. It has accomplished taking many photos for scientists to study, and for us to see.
What are the three galaxies closest to our own galaxy?
There are over 30 local to Andromeda-see list below-
What galaxy is 2.9 million miles away in light years in constellation?
No galaxy is 2.9 million miles away - they are much, much farther. Even the closest star in our own galaxy is much farther away than that.
