No. it is one of the billions of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Astronomer's have not been able to count all the planets in the Andromeda Galaxy. The Andromeda Galaxy is home to one-trillion stars. The Andromeda Galaxy is expected to collide with the Milky Way in the next 4.5-billion years.

Photos, as no one has gone to the Andromeda galaxy yet.
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.
The center of the Andromeda galaxy is believed to contain a supermassive black hole, similar to the one found at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. This black hole has a mass millions of times greater than our sun and plays a role in shaping the galaxy's dynamics.
The Andromeda galaxy is estimated to have a mass of about 1.5 trillion times the mass of our Sun. It is one of the most massive galaxies in our local group of galaxies, which also includes the Milky Way.
The closest galaxy has to be the one we call the "Milky Way", since the sun is one of the stars in it, and we and our whole solar system are inside it. The next closest is the one we call the "Andromeda Galaxy" because we see it among the stars of the "Andromeda" constellation. It's something like 2.5 million light years distant from us.
The Andromeda Galaxy is roughly 100,000 light years in diameter.
No. At 2.5 million light years the Andromeda Galaxy is one of the closest galaxies.
Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi was a Persian astronomer of the 10th century, who wrote the 'Book of Fixed Stars' in 964 AD. He is thought to have made the first recorded observation of the Andromeda galaxy, although it wasnt recognised as a separate galaxy from our own until well into the 20th century.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest one to the sun. Our galaxy is the closest one of all.
there isn't just one major star Andromeda is a galaxy
