The nearest large Galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy or M31 (also Great Andromeda Nebula in old texts)

It is a spiral galaxy, located about 2.5 million years from us.

Unlike most galaxies, the Andromeda Galaxy is getting nearer to us and will eventually in a few billion years time "merge" with the Milky Way.
