No, on the contrary, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is getting closer and closer. It is estimated that in about 3 billion years both galaxies might start merging. This is hard to ascertain, because the sideways component of the speed is hard to calculate accurately. But in any case, in 3 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy will be much closer to us than it is now.

What else can I help you with?
What galaxy is earth apart of?
The Milky Way Galaxy.
Is the universe apart of the Milky Way galaxy?
Nope, other way around: The Milky Way - our home galaxy - is part of the universe.
Is the sun apart of the milky way?
Yes , our Sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy ; it is positioned in the Orion Arm of the MWG .
Is the Milky Way expanding?
No. The universe is expanding; galaxy clusters are getting farther apart. This expansion only works over distances of hundreds of millions of light years, not the much smaller distances within galaxies.
What is on the edge of the solar system milky way?
The milky way IS NOT a solar system. it contains millions of solar systems. and there is no definite edge to the milky way galaxy. stars simply distance themselves apart from each other until they stop traveling with the milky way galaxy
What is your solar system apart of?
our solar system is part of the milky way galaxy
How warm is the Milky Way?
This depends on where you are in the milky way. For example, earth is in the milky way. It is warm. But Mercury is very hot because it is closer to the sun. And also Neptune is colder or Pluto because they are further away from the sun. So they are all in the milky way. That means it matter where you are, for the milky way is very big.
The Milky Way is 100000 light years wide If there are 2500 planets in the MW how far apart are they roughly if evenly spaced?
If all planets are evenly spaced and there are 2,500 planets, they would be about 40 light years apart in the Milky Way.
What do the astrologers call our galaxy?
We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
Which is another solar system apart from the Milky Way?
Coma Berenices... It is in sync with us and is in our vicinity.
The distance between the Milky way and Andromeda galaxies is about how many times their sizes?
Andromeda and the Milky Way are approximately 2.5 million lightyears apart, and are constantly nearing each other. The Milky Way measures about 100,000 lightyears across, and Andromeda is roughly 220,000 lightyears.
What does the milky way galaxy orbit and how long does it take?
The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the two giants in our local group. These two galaxies will collide, but neither one can be said to orbit the other. In some instances smaller galaxies might "orbit" a giant cluster, with periods measured in billions of years. Galaxies in general do not orbit anything. Instead they are all simply spreading further and further apart as the universe expands.
