A Journey Through The Andromeda Galaxy

Galaxy
Andromeda is a large spiral galaxy, a big monster of about 1 trillion solar masses.
It lies about 2.5 million light years away from the Earth, but this distance will shorten with time because Andromeda is moving towards us at the crazy speed of 68 miles (110 kilometers) per second. In some billion years,b it will collide with our galaxy. This will be the collision of the two largest galaxies in our Local Group!
Eventually, the two galaxies will merge into one.
Scientists often refer to the new object as Milkdromeda, but I’m sure there could be better names for it. What would you call it? Let us know in the comments!
Andromeda is a really interesting galaxy, and it has always played a crucial role in helping us understand our place in the universe. This video will show you everything that you need to know.
Oh, I almost forgot: our cute neighbor is an evil cannibal galaxy. We'll talk about this as well: don't miss out!

How to spot Andromeda
The Andromeda galaxy is the second most famous galaxy in astronomy, after the Milky Way, at least for us humans! According to the standard astronomical classifications, we can identify 4 types of galaxies: spiral; barred spiral; elliptical, and irregular.

Thanks for the re cap at 17:20. Appreciated ❤

Recent studies have stated that it's actually possible that the Milky Way's and Andromeda's far outer edges are already starting to collide.

[lordshaxx]

Since Andromeda absorbs and assimilates other galaxies my name suggestion, for when it assimilates the milky way, will be The Borg Galaxy

[jaideepkamath]

It would be crazy and inspiring if whatever we know so far about astronomy is mostly all wrong!! we tend to calculate everything in earthly measurements

[wkelly]

I am really amazed!! Always a pleasure!!

[josecarrillo]

Awesome video and keep the videos coming. Onto a Type 1 Civilization in about 100 to 200 years in the future...

[granthudson]

purchased a telescope because i bought a star map not so good in the summer/fall but winter time here in the northern hemisphere on a clear night (i live in the bush) I seen the big W, got my equipment because the map. Boom. its like nothing you see in the night sky.

Just think of the vastness to traverse from our galaxy to Andromeda. Unimaginable. I watched another video stating how the space between galaxies would be a barren, cold wasteland of darkness and the orphan planets would be solid ice in utter blackness. I saw an episode of the Original Series of Star Trek where they were traveling to Andromeda and you would just see the spiral galaxy in the darkness in the distance.

The Milky Way and Andromeda combined I'd call Andrway.

[Ambone]

Andromeda Wins is what I'll call the new galaxy.

[JulianJohnston]

One thing I thought was insane, when the galaxies colide, not one star will collide with another. If that doesn't explain the size of these monsters, nothing will!

[uhoh]

Great video, but the comments about the hubble telescope being our best confused me. Was this video made a while ago and just recently uploaded? Great content either way and no disrespect or criticism intended.

[sprinter]

The name of the resulting Galaxy should still be Andromeda since it is much larger than the Milky Way, it is our galaxy that will become part of Andromeda in my opinion.

[rezadaneshi]

Galactic tunneling! 16:50 same answer as quantum tunneling. Fascinating🤔

[jamescarter]

We will find that we're surrounded by intelligent life, of varying levels, who may or may not have visited our system, but certainly know about us or at least that earth is here with life on it. Many are probably machines; but life was not created on earth. It was created along with the universe and is likely pretty evenly distributed, which means there are probably trillions of intelligent civilizations in the universe.

Idea for a sci-fi series or movie. In the future when the galaxies merge the Milky Way has an empire dominated by humans and the Andromeda has an empire dominated by an alien race and they go to war because their territory are merging

[shamiwhitcomb]

Andre-lait

Sounds fancy and keeps the meaning 😁

[mattfrost]

The Andromedaic Way would be a better name

[TGOwenymusic]

I would call it eye of the local group
