The Andromeda Galaxy

This 10-question quiz introduces the Andromeda Galaxy, our giant neighbor in space.

You will tackle a mix of blanks and true or false items, with prompts like What type of galaxy is the Andromeda? and Approximately how far from us is the Andromeda Galaxy?, so it works for students building on the basics of galaxies.

The headline fact is a slow-motion collision, since Andromeda and the Milky Way are expected to merge billions of years from now as the two slowly drift toward each other.

You will also learn the older name people once used for it before we knew it was a galaxy.

Recommended level: intermediate.
