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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Who were Andromeda's parents?
Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia in Greek mythology.
Constellation named after mythical greek princess?
Andromeda, daughter of King Cephus and Queen Cassiopeia.
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
What are the planets in Andromeda galaxy?
The Andromeda galaxy is a separate galaxy from our Milky Way and has its own set of planets. However, due to the vast distance between our galaxies, we are currently unable to observe individual planets in the Andromeda galaxy.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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 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 .
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.
Can you see planets in the Andromeda galaxy?
No. The the farthest planet visible to the naked eye is Saturn, which is about 11 astronomical units away from Earth at its farthest. The distance to the Andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million light years, about 14 billion times farther away.
