What is the difference between the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy?
The Milky Way is our home galaxy while the Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way. They both contain billions of stars, but the Andromeda galaxy is slightly larger in size compared to the Milky Way. Additionally, they are on a collision course and are expected to merge in about 4 billion years.
Is the Andromeda galaxy older than the milky way?
Yes, the Andromeda galaxy is thought to be older than the Milky Way. Astronomers estimate that Andromeda formed around 10 billion years ago, making it older than the Milky Way, which is estimated to be around 13.6 billion years old.
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.
Are Sagittarius dwarf galaxy and Andromeda galaxy the same?
No, the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy are not the same. The Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy is a small, irregular galaxy orbiting around the Milky Way, while the Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy located 2.537 million light-years away from the Milky Way.
What is the milky ways companion called?
The Milky Way's most notable companion galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31. It is the largest galaxy in the Local Group, which includes the Milky Way, Andromeda, and several smaller galaxies. Andromeda is on a collision course with the Milky Way, expected to merge in about 4.5 billion years. Other smaller companions include the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.
When will the galaxy reform?
In about 2.5 billion years when the Andromeda Galaxy merges with the Milky Way
What galaxy is the Milky going to crash into in some odd billion years from now?
Andromeda galaxy
What will happen to the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies 4 billion years from now?
Four billion years from now, our galaxy, the Milky Way, will collide with our large spiraled neighbor, Andromeda.

Where is Andromeda gallaxy?
Our galaxy is the Milky way. Andromeda is the nearest galaxy to our milky way.
Which galaxy are you heading towards?
It seems that the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy will collide, in about 3-4 billion years.
How fast does the Andromeda galaxy go?

Is the Milky Way merging with anything?
Not at the moment but in about 5 billion years it will merge with the Andromeda galaxy.
What might happen to the Andromeda galaxy in future?
It will "merge" not collide with the Milky Way Galaxy in about 4 billion years times.
Are Sagittarius dwarf galaxy and Andromeda galaxy the same?
