Andromeda Galaxy

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest spiral galaxy to us, and though it's gravitationally bound to the Milky Way, it's not the closest galaxy by far – being 2 million light years away.

Andromeda is currently approaching our galaxy at a speed of about 110 kilometers per second.
