  2. Andromeda–Milky Way collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda–Milky_Way...

    The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group —the Milky Way (which contains the Solar System and Earth) and the Andromeda Galaxy. [1][2][3][4][5] The stars involved are sufficiently far apart that it is improbable that any of them ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_Galaxy

    The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy and is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It was originally named the Andromeda Nebula and is cataloged as Messier 31 , M31 , and NGC 224 . Andromeda has a D 25 isophotal diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years ) [ 8 ] and is approximately 765 kpc (2.5 million light-years ...

    Description Andromeda Collides Milky Way.jpg. English: This illustration shows a stage in the predicted merger between our Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, as it will unfold over the next several billion years. In this image, representing Earth's night sky in 3.75 billion years, Andromeda (left) fills the field of view and ...

  5. List of Andromeda's satellite galaxies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Andromeda's...

    The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) has satellite galaxies just like the Milky Way. Orbiting M31 are at least 13 dwarf galaxies: the brightest and largest is M110, which can be seen with a basic telescope. The second-brightest and closest one to M31 is M32. The other galaxies are fainter, and were mostly discovered starting from the 1970s.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayall_II

    Mayall II, also known as NGC-224-G1, SKHB 1, GSC 2788:2139, HBK 0-1, M31GC J003247+393440 or Andromeda's Cluster, is a globular cluster orbiting M31, the Andromeda Galaxy. It is located 130,000 light-years (40 kpc) [3] from the Andromeda Galaxy's galactic core, and is the brightest [3] (by absolute magnitude) globular cluster in the Local Group ...

  7. Andromeda (constellation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_(constellation)

    The constellation's most obvious deep-sky object is the naked-eye Andromeda Galaxy (M31, also called the Great Galaxy of Andromeda), the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and one of the brightest Messier objects. Several fainter galaxies, including M31's companions M110 and M32, as well as the more distant NGC 891, lie within Andromeda.

    J2000. Distance. 2,200,000 ly (670,000 pc) [2] Other designations. PA 99-N2. [edit on Wikidata] PA-99-N2 is a microlensing event detected in the direction of the Andromeda Galaxy in 1999.

  9. NGC 206 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_206

    NGC 206 is the richest and most conspicuous star cloud in the Andromeda Galaxy, and is one of the largest and brightest star-forming regions in the Local Group. [2] It contains more than 300 stars brighter than M b =−3.6. [3] It was originally identified by Edwin Hubble as a star cluster but today, due to its size, it is classified as an OB ...
