Out of all the local group of galaxies, the largest is the Andromeda Galaxy, with it being double the mass of the Milky way. The distance of it is 2,300,000 light years.

=[|Solstation.com]= Author: Sol Station Last Updated: June 11, 2012 Date Reviewed: December 5, 2012 Reviewed by: Juhi Desai This webpage is part of a website created by a company called Sol Station. The webpage displays news about discoveries of The Andromeda Galaxy. It updates every time something new is found. It also contains other general information and images. Every piece of information on it is referenced, and it doesn't contradict any information I already read, so it is very accurate. The readability of the website is for college students and above, most of the information is just quotes from the websites they found it in, and if the reader doesn't already know much about astronomy, it won't make any sense to them. It is easy to navigate, the end of the page provides external links to other websites if the reader wants more information. The website also has more information on other objects. Overall I find this webpage the most useful and informative out of all the other websites, it would be very useful for someone doing research on the subject.
