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.

Where is the Andromeda Galaxy?

The Andromeda Galaxy (also known as Messier 31 or M31) sometimes as the Great AndromedaNebula is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda, and is 220,000 light-years in diameter, and contains 1 trillion stars.[See link] For wikisky coordinates[See Link] For constellation directions to the Galaxy.


Can you see Andromeda galaxy from earth?

Yes, the Andromeda galaxy is visible from Earth with the naked eye under ideal conditions. It is the closest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way and can be seen in the night sky from the Northern Hemisphere.


How far away is earth from the Andromeda galaxy in kilometers in scientific notation?

The Great Galaxy in Andromeda (also known as the Andromeda Galaxy or M31) is about 2.5 million light years from Earth. When we look at this galaxy today, we see light that has been traveling through space for 2.5 million years; i.e. when we look at the Andromeda Galaxy, we are seeing it as it was about 2.5 million years ago! Think about this, we are looking back in time.1 light year is the distance that light travels in 1 year. Speed of light is 300,000 kilometers/second, find the distance that light travels from the Andromeda Galaxy to Earth in kilometers and express it in scientific notation.


Which constellation does not border andromeda?

There are many. See related link for a description of what constellation do border Andromeda.


Where is the position of Andromeda galaxy?

The only real way to demonstrate this is to see Andromeda and all the local group of galaxies in one diagram sketch showing all of the proximities of the Milky way and it's satelite groups and all of the Andromeda satelite group of galaxies. I can tell you that Andromeda is found about 20 widths of our galaxy away however I repeat you need to see this by drawing to comptemplate it. May i suggest you search for "Our Galactic Realm"

'When a full moon occurs if there were people on the moon would they see a 'full' Earth'?

Not necessarily. Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.

Does earth always keep the same side towards the moon?

No. If it did, then some people on earth would always see the moon in the sky, andsome other people on earth would never see the moon in their sky. Instead, everybodyon earth sees the moon rise and set, meaning that different parts of the earth are turningto face it.


Is Andromeda a constellation?

Yes, Andromeda is a constellation. However, there is also a galaxy 2.2 million light years away from our galaxy named the Andromeda Galaxy - it's named that because you have to look through the constellation of Andromeda to see it.
