The Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31 or M31, is our closest spiral galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way is predicted to merge within the next five billion years. In the future, the number of stars in the Milky Way could match the number observed in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Recent evidence suggest that the Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy. The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy is on collision course. A black hole lies in the middle of our galaxy.
