Andromeda galaxy

Although several dozen minor galaxies lie closer to our Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to ours. The Andromeda galaxy is the brightest external galaxy you can see. At 2.5 million light-years, it’s the most distant thing most of us humans can see with the unaided eye.
