The Andromeda galaxy is moving towards our Milky Way galaxy at a speed of about 110 km/s. This relative motion is causing the galaxies to slowly approach each other and will eventually result in a collision in billions of years.
There is some blueshift in the Andromeda galaxy as it is moving toward us. The speed of the Andromeda Galaxy relative to the sun is about 300 kilometers per second or about 0.1% the speed of light. The blueshift would be detectable by instruments but not to the human eye.
The Andromeda galaxy rotates at a speed of about 100 to 200 kilometers per second at its outer edges, and faster towards its center. It takes approximately 200 million years for Andromeda to complete one full rotation.
About 17 billion years after the big bang , when it will merge with our own galaxy - the Milky Way. After that, a new name will have to be thought of, if anyone is still around. currently andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away and moving toward us with a speed of 120 km per second
The Andromeda galaxy is around 2.5 million light years away, but is moving towards out galaxy at a speed of about 100 to 140 kilometres per second (62 to 87 miles/sec). Our galaxy will collide with it in around 4.5 billion years. A long time, but you wont get far travelling at 20mph in that time, on an astronomical scale anyway, barely outside our own solar system.
The Andromeda Galaxy red shift is -301 km/s Which actually means it is blue shifted and is heading towards us at about 100 to 140 kilometres per second

Petrol in NZ is about $1.5 per L and I do $10 per 100km so that makes it 6.66 L/100km.

The Andromeda galaxy is moving towards our Milky Way galaxy at a velocity of approximately 110 kilometers per second. This movement is creating a collision course between the two galaxies, which is expected to occur in about 4.5 billion years.

There is a new substantiated hypothesis that the universe is now expanding and contracting at the same time (here we go: nasha-vselennaia.ru/?p=10056) . We think that some galaxies are moving away from us and some are approaching. The Andromeda is approaching to us with high speed (almost with the speed of light), but it falls into the black hole, at the center of which is our galaxy, the Milky Way. Because of the great gravitational force between our galaxy and Andromeda, there is gravitational compression of time around us. That is, the time passes slowly around us, and it seems to us that Andromeda is approaching us slowly. The closer it comes to us, the more will be the gravitational force and the time will slow down. We would think that the Andromeda is braking, slowing its approach, but it is actually approaching us almost at the speed of light. We have nothing to be afraid of. According to our time, it needs billions of years to collide with our galaxy. If we really live in four-dimensional space, there is nothing surprising.
