Object info:
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy approximately 2,500,000 light-years (1.58�1011 AU) away[4] in the constellation Andromeda. It is also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, and is often referred to as the Great Andromeda Nebula in older texts. Andromeda is the nearest spiral galaxy to our own, the Milky Way, but not the closest galaxy overall.
