A Galaxy Away

Distances beyond imagination.

Galaxies, immense collections of stars, gas, and dark matter, are separated by vast distances, sometimes spanning millions of light-years. The nearest large galaxy to our Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy, which is approximately 2.5 million light-years away.

Despite these immense distances, gravitational forces between galaxies can lead to interactions and collisions, shaping their structures and triggering new star formations.
