The Andromeda Galaxy is approximately 2.5 million light-years away. 3 × 10 6 ly: The Triangulum Galaxy , at about 3 million light-years away, is the most distant object visible to the naked eye. 5.9 × 10 7 ly: The nearest large galaxy cluster, the Virgo Cluster, is about 59 million light-years away. 1.5 × 10 8 – 2.5 × 10 8 ly
