The Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way are the closest neighbors despite that incredible distance. Still, without a doubt, Andromeda is a larger galaxy, possibly twice the diameter of our Milky Way.

The Andromeda Galaxy was supposedly first noted by the Persian astronomer Abd-al-Rahman Al-Sufi, who described it as a "little cloud" in his "Book of Fixed Stars" in 964 A.D.

From an amateur astronomy perspective, what I like most about the Andromeda Galaxy is that it is the farthest object that humans can see with the naked eye. And at 2.5 million light-years away ...

AUSTIN, Texas — Astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to see closer to the center in our neighboring Andromeda galaxy than in any other galaxy except our own. In doing so, they ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy are currently hurtling through space toward each other at a speed of about 250,000 miles per hour (400,000 kph), setting up ...

The Andromeda galaxy lies 2.5 million light-years away and looks like a faint spindle, about 6 times the diameter of the full Moon. It is considered a near-twin to the Milky Way galaxy.

Humans confirmed the existence of other galaxies surprisingly late. Only 100 years ago, in fact, when Edwin Hubble found a type of star known as Cepheid variables within Andromeda, and used them ...
