Observing the globular clusters orbiting the Andromeda galaxy, | Dark Space
Observing the globular clusters orbiting the Andromeda galaxy, astronomers found out that since its formation, it has absorbed several of its large and small satellites. Andromeda is now the largest galaxy closest to the Milky Way and the largest in the Local Group. F the distance from the Sun to it is 2.5 million light-years, but it is reduced by 300 kilometers every second. The Milky Way will collide with Andromeda in about four billion years.
Compared to our Galaxy, Andromeda has a much larger and more complex stellar halo. This indicates that it destroyed a significant number of its neighbors, possibly larger than the Milky Way destroyed.
