Andromeda is heading straight for us here in the Milky Way, and the two galaxies are going to collide. Don't lose any sleep over this; it isn't going to happen for roughly four billion years. By then the earth will very likely no longer be inhabited, and who knows where are descendants will be, if there will be any at all?
Our galaxy is the Milky way. Andromeda is the nearest galaxy to our milky way.
They are pretty similiar mass, Milky Way maybe has more mass, but the Milky Way indeed beats it in size. Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter. Andromeda is 220,000 ly, Andromeda and the Milky Way are like twins.
Yes. All constellations are in the Milky Way. Note that the Andromeda constellation is not to be confused with the Andromeda Galaxy.
no. Andromeda is our nearest milky way's neighbor galaxy. so Andromeda is not locate in the milky way. the distance between these 2 galaxies are roughly 2.5 millions light years.
it is predicted that Andromeda and the Milky Way will collide within the next 5 billion years.
Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies are flat spirals in shape.

Both the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies are flat spirals in shape.
No - you are already IN the Milky Way Galaxy
All stars and constellations that we can see are in the Milky Way galaxy.
The Andromeda is a spiral galaxy with almost twice as many stars as there are in the Milky Way. Difficult to be certain, since we're INSIDE the Milky Way and cannot see all of it, and we can't be sure exactly how far away Andromeda is. However, we believe that Andromeda and the Milky Way are probably fairly similar, with Andromeda being slightly larger.
The Milky Way is the galaxy in which our solar system is located; you are inside the Milky Way; it's all around you. The Andromeda galaxy is the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way. The Milky Way is closer to us because we live inside of it.
