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.
How far is the Andromeda galaxy away from the milky way?
The Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy. It is the closest spiral galaxy to our own.
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!
How far is the Andromeda galaxy from the milky way galaxy?
even at th speed of light it 2,000,000 (2 million) years away!!!!!!!!!!!
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:
Who showed that other galaxies existed?
The astronomer Edwin Hubble provided evidence in the 1920s that other galaxies existed beyond our own Milky Way. By observing Cepheid variable stars in the Andromeda Galaxy, he demonstrated that it was a separate galaxy located far outside our own. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of the universe's scale and confirmed the existence of other galaxies.
What are the three galaxies closest to our own galaxy?
There are over 30 local to Andromeda-see list below-
