How far away is Andromeda?

It is 2.537 million light years away.

How long will it take to get there?

To get there it would take 28 light years away on ship-time. This would take a constant accerlation of 1g, and a deceleration of 1g after reaching half way, (to be able to stop).

What catastrophic event is due to happen in 4.5 million years?

In 4.5 billion years, the axial tilt of the Earth may begin to undergo “chaotic variations”. This includes the changes in the axial tilt of up to 90°, with the luminosity of the Sun will steadily increase, resulting in a rise in the solar radiation reaching the Earth.

 

Exit task: I do believe they are that many stars as the galaxy is so so big and we have not fully explored it yet and it would take too long to explore it.
