The Andromeda Galaxy is VERY far away! #science #space

How long would it take an asteroid to travel between the Milky Way Galaxy to the Andromeda Galaxy?

And Andromeda is around the corner...given the vast volume of the universe...just unimaginable

But still it has not enough speed to leave Milky Way

I am an immunologist and not an astrophysisist so I am at a disadvantadge here, but, could we take into account the universal expansion that might have placed the Andromeda galaxy and the Milky Way initially closer? Again, I have no idea if that was the case, but I would love to hear the facts from an expert like you!

Let’s give a time for something to go a distance at a completely arbitrary speed. If it was faster, it would take less time. If it was slower, it would take more time. Also keep in mind that the speed is arbitrarily relative to the start and end points, because both of those points are also moving at speeds.

amua mua... the new " baguette" asteroid ...what crockery... as if they can calculate this... its called theoretical physics... right up there with astrology

So the Milkyway is moving faster than that asteroid? I heard the Milkyway will collide with Andromeda in 5 Billion years
