Andromeda Galaxy. A visible light image of the Andromeda Galaxy. Messier 32 is to the left of the galactic nucleus and Messier 110 is at the bottom right. The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy and is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It was originally named the Andromeda Nebula and is cataloged as Messier 31, M31, and NGC 224.
Upsilon Andromedae b ( υ Andromedae b, abbreviated Upsilon And b, υ And b ), formally named Saffar / ˈsæfɑːr /, is an extrasolar planet approximately 44 light-years away from the Sun in the constellation of Andromeda. The planet orbits its host star, the F-type main-sequence star Upsilon Andromedae A, approximately every five days.
Upsilon Andromedae (υ Andromedae, abbreviated Upsilon And, υ And) is a binary star located 44 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Andromeda.The system consists of an F-type main-sequence star (designated υ Andromedae A, officially named Titawin in the Amazigh language / t ɪ t ə ˈ w iː n /) and a smaller red dwarf.
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) has satellite galaxies just like the Milky Way. Orbiting M31 are at least 13 dwarf galaxies: the brightest and largest is M110, which can be seen with a basic telescope. The second-brightest and closest one to M31 is M32. The other galaxies are fainter, and were mostly discovered starting from the 1970s.
14 Andromedae b (abbreviated 14 And b ), formally named Spe / ˈspiː /, is an exoplanet approximately 249 light years away in the constellation of Andromeda . The 186-day period planet orbits about 83% the Earth - Sun distance from the giant star 14 Andromedae. It has a minimum mass 4.8 times the mass of Jupiter.
Upsilon Andromedae c ( υ Andromedae c, abbreviated Upsilon And c, υ And c ), formally named Samh / ˈsɑːm / (a homophone with the star Salm ), is an extrasolar planet orbiting the Sun -like star Upsilon Andromedae A every 241.3 days at an average distance of 0.83 AU (124 million km; 77 million mi). Its discovery in April 1999 by Geoffrey ...
List of nearest galaxies. This is a list of known galaxies within 3.8 megaparsecs (12.4 million light-years) of the Solar System, in ascending order of heliocentric distance, or the distance to the Sun. This encompasses about 50 major Local Group galaxies, and some that are members of neighboring galaxy groups, the M81 Group and the Centaurus A ...
The most famous deep-sky object in Andromeda is the spiral galaxy cataloged as Messier 31 (M31) or NGC 224 but known colloquially as the Andromeda Galaxy for the constellation. M31 is one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye, 2.2 million light-years from Earth (estimates range up to 2.5 million light-years). [54]
