Viewing good but transparency poor at time
The
Andromeda Galaxy (also known as
Messier 31,
M31, or
NGC 224; often referred to as the
Great Andromeda Nebula in older texts) is a
spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years away
[4] in the
constellation Andromeda. It is the nearest
spiral galaxy to our own, the Milky Way, and is visible as a faint smudge on a moonless night to the naked eye.
Like the
Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy has
satellite galaxies, consisting of 14 known
dwarf galaxies. The best known and most readily observed satellite galaxies are M32 and M110.
