  2. Andromeda Galaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda_Galaxy

    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 . Andromeda has a D 25 isophotal diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years ) [ 8 ] and is approximately 765 kpc (2.5 million light-years ...

  3. Andromeda–Milky Way collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda–Milky_Way...

    The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group —the Milky Way (which contains the Solar System and Earth) and the Andromeda Galaxy. [1][2][3][4][5] The stars involved are sufficiently far apart that it is improbable that any of them ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Andromeda's...

    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.

    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. [53] 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 ]

  6. NGC 7662 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7662

    NGC 7662 is a popular planetary nebula for casual observers. A small telescope will reveal a star-like object with slight nebulosity. A 6" telescope with a magnification around 100x will reveal a slightly bluish disk, while telescopes with a primary mirror at least 16" in diameter may reveal slight color and brightness variations in the interior.

  7. NGC 206 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_206

    Features. NGC 206 is the richest and most conspicuous star cloud in the Andromeda Galaxy, and is one of the largest and brightest star-forming regions in the Local Group. [2] It contains more than 300 stars brighter than M b =−3.6. [3] It was originally identified by Edwin Hubble as a star cluster but today, due to its size, it is classified ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_753

    NGC 753 is a spiral galaxy [3] located 220 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Andromeda.The galaxy was discovered by astronomer by Heinrich d'Arrest on September 16, 1865 [4] and is a member of Abell 262.

  9. NGC 51 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_51

    NGC 51 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. It has a diameter of 90,000 light-years. [3] The galaxy was discovered on September 7, 1885, by Lewis Swift, who described it as "Pretty faint, pretty small, round, brighter middle." [3] One supernova, SN 2016gxp (type Ia, mag. 18.6), was discovered in NGC 51 on October 5, 2016. [5]
