It won't "hit" but merge in about 4.5 billion years time - just about when our Sun starts turning into a red giant

Krishna was from Andromeda.

Much the same as ours. Stars and planetary bodies, gas clouds etc

According to a recent research, the spiral disk of stars in Andromeda is three times larger in diameter than previously estimated. This constitutes evidence that there is a vast, extended stellar disk that makes the galaxy more than 220,000 light-years (67,000 pc) in diameter. Previously, estimates of Andromeda's size ranged from 70,000 to 120,000 light-years (21,000 to 37,000 PC) across.

2-3 million years, if you find a way to travel at the speed of light.

The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest galaxy in the local cluster. This means that it contains more stars than the Milky Way and more stars mean more planets. Considering that scientist estimate that there could be thousands on planets with intelligent life in our own galaxy it would be logical to assume the same about the Andromeda Galaxy.

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.

2.5 million light-years approximately ;)

Simply just a high tech telescope to see it in HD but you can see it with your naked eye in the night sky.

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.

The only real way to demonstrate this is to see Andromeda and all the local group of galaxies in one diagram sketch showing all of the proximities of the Milky way and it's satelite groups and all of the Andromeda satelite group of galaxies.

I can tell you that Andromeda is found about 20 widths of our galaxy away however I repeat you need to see this by drawing to comptemplate it. May i suggest you search for "Our Galactic Realm"

A picture is worth a thousand words - see related link

No time soon. We cannot predict what sorts of technological or scientific advances might be made in the far distant future. So it might be possible, but nobody alive now will see this.

The Andromeda galaxy is approaching us, and will be quite near in about 3 billion years. It is not yet known whether it will actually collide with our galaxy, or move sideways - the sideways part of the velocity is harder to figure out than the component of movement towards us, or away from us.

Because quite simply, we can see the Andromeda in it's entirety - whereas we can't with the Milky Way

That is impossible. A universe, whether infinite or finite is still vastly bigger than a galaxy.

He applied the period-luminosity relation to Cepheid variables.

The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.

Although the Andromeda Galaxy is a bit larger than the Milky Way, and is large as spiral galaxies go, it is not the largest galaxy. There are larger spiral galaxies, and much, MUCH larger elliptical galaxies. However, because it is relatively close to the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy _appears_ quite large, spanning an apparent width roughly six times that of a full Moon. Still, there are two smaller, closer galaxies (the Magellanic Clouds) which appear larger still. (The Magellanic Clouds are not visible from northern latitudes, however, so one could argue that the Andromeda Galaxy is the biggest galaxy in _apparent size_ visible from most of the northern hemisphere.)

About 2.5 million light-years.
Approximately 2.5 million light years away

Lmao, 220,000ly gaalxy vs. a dwarf star that has a diameter of 1.3mln km lmao it's obvious Andromeda is a bigger
