 About M31 

There is something magical about M31, the fact that you can see it through any telescope makes it a wonderful target. When you look at M31 through the telescope you are looking at a Galaxy that will collide with our own Galaxy just 4 billion years from now, M31 is coming at us at 250000 miles an hour, you would think that’s fast but that just shows you just how far 2.5 million light years really is.

The two galaxies will merge into one new super Galaxy, if you want to help name the new Galaxy just email your new galactic title to me and we will get it to the people who can make it happen.
