Andromeda, a character from Greek mythology, is often depicted as a princess of Ethiopia, the daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. In modern contexts, Andromeda is also the name of a prominent galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), which is located approximately 2.537 million light-years from Earth. Thus, depending on the context, Andromeda can refer to either a mythological figure or an astronomical entity.
