  I really want to say Andromeda but when you can see the Milky Way "edge-on" (as it where) with the naked eye it's just stunning, (the other two you need specialist equipment to see), then I'm picking that. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/ESO-VLT-Laser-phot-33a-07.jpg" rel="nofollow">  Untill the Andromeda galaxy crashes into us in 3.75 billion years time anyway. ------------- What? |

^ maybe. Triangulum is so much smaller it may get swept up beforehand or just blown away. ------------- What? |

...or 40 billion vs 400 billion vs 1000 billion However it is not the number of stars that is important, but the mass - Andromeda and The Milky Way have approximately equal mass and will affect each other more or less equally - Triangulum is 200 times smaller and will be swatted like a fly by one of the others. ------------- What? |

It was a tough choice between the Andromeda Galaxy and Other (the Star Wars Galaxy). Andromeda won due to its actual existence. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

It makes me want to sing "Astronomy Domine" with new lyrics: "
Lime and limpid green / a second scene, A fight between the blue / you once knew. Floating down the sound surrounds Milky Way, Andromeda and Triangulum, Neptune, Titan Stars can frighten". |

I'l just vote for the Milky Way simply because that's where we find ourselves. If I knew that Andromeda or Triangulum host cooler beings than us (which is not that hard) I might change my vote.
