The Andromeda galaxy is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. The distance from earth is approximately 2.5 million light-years away. This galaxy is even visible to the naked eye provided one is far enough from larger population centers and if the air pollution is low.

In this image I illustrate how the Andromeda galaxy can look like when seen from a moon that is close to it. Unfortunately I made the image at low-resolution thus printing is not possible.

Wonderful picture. I'm very interested in astronomy and I must say that the Andromeda Galaxy fascinates me! It's hard to believe it's so far away. I don't think I've spotted it yet, but you can use the Great Square of Pegasus as a guide. Also, the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia directs you to the Andromeda Galaxy, also know as M31.

I always imagine myself landing on such planet, where there is such a big galaxy and a near one show up in its nightsky.
