Is there a Galaxy further away than Milky way and Andromeda?

Best Answers

Absolutely, positively, definitely yes. Other responders have already pointed out that there are a couple of trillion galaxies in the Observable Universe. Fine. No argument from me. read more

Of the two trillion galaxies in the observable Universe, all galaxies (besides a hand full dwarf galaxies) are further away than Andromeda. And none is nearer than the Milky Way, as this is the galaxy we are living in. read more

The Andromeda Galaxy's mass is estimated to be around 1.76 times that of the Milky Way Galaxy (~0.8-1.5 × 10 12 solar masses vs the Milky Way's 8.5 × 10 11 solar masses). The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are expected to collide in ~4.5 billion years, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy or a large disc galaxy. read more

Astronomers had thought Andromeda was about two to three times the size of the Milky Way, and that our own galaxy would ultimately be overtaken by our bigger neighbor. But the latest research, published Wednesday, evens the score between the two galaxies. read more
