M110 Galaxy / M31 The Andromeda Galaxy / M32 Galaxy - telescope processed image. M31 is the dominant spiral "parent," while M32 and M110 are satellite galaxies trapped by its gravity. These neighbors are slowly being tidal-stripped and will eventually merge with Andromeda.
M110 Galaxy / M31 The Andromeda Galaxy / M32 Galaxy - unprocessed image. Andromeda is moving toward the Milky Way at 110 km/s and will eventually collide with us in about 4.5 billion years to form a giant elliptical galaxy.
