Question about English (US)
What does "which is next door as far as astronomical distances go" mean?
Sorry I couldn't highlight it. It lies inbetween the first sentence so I hope it's easy to spot.

It means, when talking about astronomical distances (distances on the scale of the universe), this distance is really short.
So the speaker is saying that even though the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light-years away, it is really close to us when compared to the rest of the universe.
