Zooming In on the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Gigapixels of Andromeda, is a 2015 composite photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is 1.5 billion pixels in size, and is the largest image ever taken by the telescope. [1] At the time of its release to the public, the image was one of the largest ever ...
English: This image shows the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies in space to scale. It illustrates both the size of each galaxy and the distance between the two galaxies, to create a better understanding of relative sizes and distances.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy and is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It was originally named the Andromeda Nebula and is cataloged as Messier 31 , M31 , and NGC 224 . Andromeda has a D 25 isophotal diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years ) [ 8 ] and is approximately 765 kpc (2.5 million light-years ...
The conclusion was that Andromeda is moving southeast in the sky at less than 0.1 milliarc-seconds per year, corresponding to a speed relative to the Sun of less than 200 km/s towards the south and towards the east. Taking also into account the Sun's motion, Andromeda's tangential or sideways velocity with respect to the Milky Way was found to ...
Upsilon Andromedae (υ Andromedae, abbreviated Upsilon And, υ And) is a binary star located 44 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Andromeda.The system consists of an F-type main-sequence star (designated υ Andromedae A, officially named Titawin in the Amazigh language / t ɪ t ə ˈ w iː n /) and a smaller red dwarf.
Groombridge 34 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda.It was listed as entry number 34 in A Catalogue of Circumpolar Stars, published posthumously in 1838 by British astronomer Stephen Groombridge. [11]
Upsilon Andromedae d (υ Andromedae d, abbreviated Upsilon And d, υ And d), formally named Majriti / m æ dʒ ˈ r aɪ t i /, is a super-Jupiter exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Upsilon Andromedae A, approximately 44 light-years (13.5 parsecs, or nearly 416.3 trillion km) away from Earth in the constellation of Andromeda.
NGC 13 is a spiral galaxy [1] in the constellation Andromeda. It is estimated to be about 220 million light-years (66 Megaparsecs) away from the Sun. [ 1 ] It was discovered on November 26, 1790, by William Herschel .
