And one of the closest large galaxies to us is the Andromeda galaxy which is 2.5 million light-years away. Do you get what that means? Travelling at the speed of light –18 million km per minute –it would take us two and half million years to reach our nearest neighbour galaxy, Andromeda. And then we’re only on the edge of the Universe.
