List of stars in Andromeda
The brightest star in the constellation is Alpheratz (Sirrah in the image), which marks her head, Bayer designation Alpha Andromedae.Andromedae is called Mirach, the girdle.It is 200 light years distant and of magnitude 2.Andromedae, or Almach, is found at the tip of the southern leg of the big "A".It is a beautiful multiple star with contrasting colours.Andromedae has a planetary system with three confirmed planets, 0.Notable deep sky objects
The most famous deep sky object in Andromeda is M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye (M33 is slightly farther).It is an enormous spiral galaxy much like the Milky Way.Orion), where one arm has something long attached to it, giving the appearance of a female warrior holding a sword.This, together with other stars in the zodiac sign of Aries (part of Pisces, and the Pleiades), may be the origin of the myth of the girdle of Hippolyte, which forms part of The Twelve Labours of Herakles.However, by including still fainter stars, the attachment extends in a different direction, giving the appearance of a maiden held by a chain.Together with other constellations nearby (Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Cetus, Pegasus, and Perseus), this may be the source of the myth of the Boast of Cassiopeia, with which it is usually identified.References

Captain Hunt and the crew of the Starship Andromeda set out on a mission to rebuild the Systems Commonwealth 300 years after its fall.Trivia:

(Huggins and Miller 1864).In 1887, Isaac Roberts obtained the
first photographs of the Andromeda "Nebula," which showed the basic features of
its spiral structure for the first time.Note that all the previous values describe the motion with respect to our
Solar System, i.Milky Way's
Galactic Center.In 1923, Edwin Hubble found the
first Cepheid variable in the Andromeda
galaxy and thus established the intergalactic distance and the true nature of
M31 as a galaxy.Palomar telescope was completed
and had started observing.Hubble published his epochal study of the Andromeda
"nebula" as an extragalactic stellar system (galaxy) in 1929
(Hubble 1929).At modern times, the Andromeda galaxy is certainly the most studied
"external" galaxy.It is of particular interest because it allows studies of
all the features of a galaxy from outside which we also find in Milky Way, but
cannot observe as the greatest part of our Galaxy is hidden by interstellar
dust.These two relatively bright and relatively close companions are visible in
many photos of M31, including the one in this page.They are only the brightest of a "swarm" of smaller companions which surround
the Andromeda Galaxy, and form a subgroup of the Local Group.It is still not clear if M33, the smaller spiral
galaxy in Triangulum, and its probable companion LGS 3 belong to this
subgroup, or the more remote Local Group member IC 1613, or one of the
possible member candidates UGCA 86 or UGCA 92.The Andromeda Galaxy is in notable interaction with its companion M32, which
is apparently responsible for a considerable amount of disturbance in the
spiral structure of M31.Very probably, M32 has also suffered from this encounter by losing many
stars which are now spread in Andromeda's halo.G1 and four fainter M31 globulars.The brightest star cloud in the Andromeda galaxy M31 has been assigned an own

value of this measure is still uncertain, and in current sources, usually

of over 250,000 light years at its distance of 2.Its mass was estimated at 300 to 400 billion times that of the sun.Compared to the newer estimates for our Milky Way galaxy, this is considerably
less than the mass of our galaxy, implying that the Milky Way may be much
denser than M31.These results are confirmed by new estimates of the total halo masses,
which turn out to be about 1.Milky Way (Evans and
Wilkinson, 2000).The Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that the Andromeda galaxy M31 has
a double nucleus.This suggests that
either it has actually two bright nuclei, probably because it has
"eaten" a smaller galaxy which once intruded its core, or parts of its only
one core are obscured by dark material, probably dust.In the first case,
this second nucleus may be a remainder of a
possibly violent dynamical encountering event in the earlier history of
the Local Group.In the second case, the
duplicity of Andromeda's nucleus would be an illusion causes by a dark dust
cloud obstructing parts of a single nucleus in the center of M31.Up to now, only one supernova has been recorded in the Andromeda galaxy, the
Supernova 1885, also designated
S Andromedae.It reached mag 6 between August 17 and 20, and it was independently found
by several observers.However, only Hartwig realized its significance.It
