Andromeda is the nearest major galaxy — about 2.5 million light years — to the Milky Way. It is much more massive than ours.

The Andromeda galaxy — the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way — is about six times larger and 1,000 times more massive than previously thought, new observations show.

Our neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, M31, is approximately 2.54 million light-years from here. That is how long it took for the collective light of the galaxy’s billions of stars to reach our eyes.
