I love astronomy class

I have decided that one of my things to do before I die is to go to Andromeda Galaxy. MAN! That place continues to fascinate me! It is the largest galaxy in our local group of galaxies and 2.5 million light years away! Which means I should start finding a way to get there as soon as possible. You can even see Andromeda with the naked eye on a moonless night, just a smudge of beautiful blending purple in a sea of stars. They say that billions of years from now Andromeda and our Milky Way galaxy will collide and form one supermassive one. The two galaxies are even moving closer as we speak. Other astronomers believe that since Andromeda hold more stars and more planets then us, there would be a great chance of life forming there. Or even more life there than we ever thought possible. And it makes sense because Andromeda is very similar to ours which adds more excitement to my next upcoming adventure!
