The Andromeda Galaxy is one of the nearest galaxies to the Milky Way. It is a spiral galaxy that contains almost a trillion stars and a super-massive black hole at its core. It is approximately 2.5 million light years away and is approaching our galaxy at about 140 kilometers per second. Due to this, both galaxies are predicted to collide in around 4 billion years. It is one of the most distant celestial objects you can see with the naked eye.
