NGC 272 is an open cluster (rather an L-shaped asterism) located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on August 2, 1864, by Heinrich d'Arrest. [2]
NGC 561 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. [3] Its speed relative to the cosmic microwave background is 4,395 ± 20 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 64.8 ± 4.6 Mpc (~211 million ly). [4] NGC 561 was discovered by Prussian astronomer Heinrich d'Arrest in 1862. [5]
NGC 668 is a spiral galaxy located 200 million light-years away [2] in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by astronomer Édouard Stephan on December 4, 1880 [3] and is a member of Abell 262. [4] [5] [6] [7]
The object has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.3 and spans an angular size of 32″ × 28″. [2] Parallax measurements give a distance estimate of 5,730 ± 340 ly (1,757 ± 103 pc). [1] NGC 7662 is a popular planetary nebula for casual observers. A small telescope will reveal a star-like object with slight nebulosity.
mcg +07-06-015, pgc 9222 [2] NGC 912 is a compact lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda about 197 million light years from the Milky Way . It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan in 1878.
The possible exoplanet would have a mass of 6.34 Jupiter mass.If confirmed, it would be the first exoplanet found in another galaxy. [4] A similar event was seen in 1996 when a team of astronomers discovered an anomalous fluctuation in the Twin Quasar's lightcurve that seemed to be caused by a planet approximately three Earth masses in size in the quasar's lensing galaxy YGKOW G1.

WISE J014656.66+423410.0 (designation abbreviated to WISE 0146+4234) is a binary brown dwarf of spectral classes T9 and Y0 [2] located in the constellation Andromeda. It is approximately 60 light-years from Earth. [5] Analysis of the spectrum shows that the binary is probably old and has a total mass of 32 +5 −6 M J for an age of
