The Andromeda Galaxy , or Messier 31 (M31) and NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years). It is the largest menber of the Local Group of galaxies, which also contains the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, and 46 other smaller galaxies.
The Andromeda Galaxy, z = −0.001001, is approaching the Milky Way at about 110 Km/sec. This makes Andromeda one of the few blueshifted galaxies that we observe.
