Since it is not possible to SEE the stars in Andromeda, it would take forever. Of course, if you can wait 3 billion years until Andromeda collides with the Milky Way, it will be a little easier.

Is the Andromeda galaxy in the Northern Hemisphere?

The Andromeda Galaxy can be seen from the northern hemisphere. Above the 45th parallel it is circumpolar, meaning you can see it pretty much any time of the night. If you know where Cassiopeia is, the Andromeda Galaxy is a fuzzy patch of light visible to the naked eye (on really dark nights) between that asterism (the Flying W) and the constellation of Andromeda. The five bright stars that make up Cassiopeia--Andromeda is below the W. The rim stars are dim, even through a good 14" telescope you can generally only make out the core stars. Otherwise the galaxy would appear a bit larger than our own moon, from our perspective here on earth. Andromeda is 2.5 million light years away, and a bit bigger than our galaxy.


How far from the Milky Way Galaxy would the Andromeda Galaxy be on this scale?

No scale was specified. However, if the Earth was one inch, the Andromeda Galaxy would be 29,300,000,000 miles away.


Are there planets that life can be on in the Andromeda Galaxy?

The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest galaxy in the local cluster. This means that it contains more stars than the Milky Way and more stars mean more planets. Considering that scientist estimate that there could be thousands on planets with intelligent life in our own galaxy it would be logical to assume the same about the Andromeda Galaxy.


What would people see on earth from Andromeda?

If you were located in the Andromeda galaxy, our Milky Way galaxy would appear to you as a large, dim, fuzzy patch of haze in the sky. When you looked at it through binoculars it would look larger and less dim. Through a large telescope, you'd see that it's a far-off collection of hundreds of billions of stars, but you wouldn't be able to pick out any individual stars. The sun would be one of those hundreds of billions of stars. You couldn't see it separately from the others, any you'd have no way at all to detect planets orbiting any of the stars in that far-off galaxy.


How many stars are in the constellation Lyra?

There are 3 fairly bright stars that make the recognisable shape of the constellation Triangulum. It looks like an elongated triangle. It is a small constellation. A constellation just marks an area of the sky. Anything within that area is in the constellation. So, there will be a large number of stars, but you can't see many without a telescope.

How many years would it take to count all the stars in the Star Wars galaxy since there are 400 billion of them?

Counting one star per second, it would take approximately 12,680 years to count all 400 billion stars in the Star Wars galaxy.

What would you use to count the stars in the sky?

A lot of time (period of a few human lives) and a good counter, but my opinion is that you can't count them, because there are billions of stars in a galaxy and billions of galaxies in the universe.

What type of star cluster would be in the Andromeda galaxy?

It's impossible to be precise, but I would guess all of them. The galaxy is so large.


How long to travel to Andromeda galaxy?

The Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years away. How long it would take to get their depends on how fast you go, but at the speed of light it would take 2.5 millions years.


What size of telescope do you need to see the Andromeda galaxy?

small one would do


Does the speed of light allow the Andromeda Galaxy to emit a blue shift?

There is some blueshift in the Andromeda galaxy as it is moving toward us. The speed of the Andromeda Galaxy relative to the sun is about 300 kilometers per second or about 0.1% the speed of light. The blueshift would be detectable by instruments but not to the human eye.


If there are 400 billion stars in the milky way galaxy how long would it take to count them if you could count continuously at a rate of one per second?

400 billion seconds. (almost thirteen thousand years) By the way there are probably no more than 200 billion stars in our galaxy...
