Because the Andromeda galaxy is so distant it is significantly difficult to identify planets in it - although there are likely hundreds of billions. Using a technique called gravitational microlensing, one planetary candidate within Andromeda has been announced by a team of scientists; the exoplanet is a stellar companion and thought to have about six or seven times the mass of Jupiter.

Are known planets located within the Andromeda constellation?
Yes. 12 stars within the Andromeda constellation are known to have planets, some more than one.
What is the nearest galaxy to the solar system?
The closest galaxy that has planets is the Andromeda galaxy. It is the nearest galactic neighbor to the earth. The Milky Way has other planets too.
What is the shape of Andromeda?
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).
Why is it called galaxy?
It gets its name from the area of the sky in which it appears, The constellation of Andromeda, which is named after the mythological princess Andromeda
How big is the black hole in Andromeda?
The black hole at the centre of the Andromeda galaxy is estimated to be 140 million Solar-masses.
Are there other planets Andromeda galaxy?
We expect the Andromeda galaxy to be just like our own Milky Way galaxy. We can see stars (suns) in the Andromeda Galaxy and just as stars have planets orbiting them in our galaxy, we believe that there must be planets also orbiting stars in the Andromeda galaxy.
How many planets are in the Andromeda 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.
Are known planets located within the Andromeda constellation?
Yes. 12 stars within the Andromeda constellation are known to have planets, some more than one.
How many moons Andromeda galaxy have?
It is not known. The Andromeda Galaxy contains about a trillion stars, many of which certainly have planets, though we don't know how many. Many of the planets likely have moons. All told, there are likely several hundred billion to several trillion moons in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Are there planets in the Andromeda Galaxy?
It is extremely likely, but we cannot yet find planets from that far away. All the planets we have found to date are in our own galaxy. The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away whereas our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across.
Is there anything inside the Andromeda Galaxy?
Yes. The Andromeda Galaxy contains about a trillion stars, many of which probably have planets. There are also many clouds of gas and dust.
Is the Andromeda Galaxy part of the solar system?
The Andromeda Galaxy is a separate galaxy, about 120,000 light years across, containing trillions of stars - possibly many with planets. Our Solar System is a single star with 8 planets and at best measures 2 light years.
How many planets does Andromeda galaxy have?
At present there are 350 extrasolar planets. Most are contained in the Milky Way galaxy. They are primarily "gas giant" planets, but if our solar system is typical (the Law of Mediocrity would lead us to believe it is) there should be many more rocky planets like ours.The extrasolar planets discovered in our neighbouring galaxy, Andromeda, are: * Upsilon Andromeda b (AKA: HD69830 b)* Upsilon Andromeda c (AKA: HD69830 c) * Upsilon Andromeda d (AKA: HD69830 d) * HD 8673 bAgain, if our galaxy is normal, then Andromeda would have planets around 10% of it's sun-like (G type) starsAside: The "Law of Mediocrity" states that you're nothing special. If you can do it, likely a lot of people can.Update 2009: Newest extra solar planets are Gliese 581 (the closest in size to Earth, only 1.9 times larger) and Gliese 581 (even larger), but it's sitting square in the habitable zone, where liquid water would be possible. Both Gliese 581 d and Gliese 581 e are located in constellation Libra and orbit around Gliese 581.
Are there planets orbiting stars in the Andromeda galaxy?
We could never see them from earth due to the incredible distances involved, bit it's very likely that the Andromeda galaxy harbours many planets in orbit around it's many billions of stars - just like in our own Milkyway galaxy.
What is the nearest galaxy to the solar system?
The closest galaxy that has planets is the Andromeda galaxy. It is the nearest galactic neighbor to the earth. The Milky Way has other planets too.
Does the andromada have any planets?
Yes there are trillions of them. We just haven't found them yet because the Andromeda galaxy is so far away.
Are there solar systems in Andromeda galaxy?
We don't know for sure - Andromeda is just too far to see that small detail. However, from current understanding of solar system formation, there will be billions of solar systems, planets and probably life .
